§ 48. Sir David Priceasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how successful was the European Economic Community embargo on European Economic Community trade with the Argentine in respect of agricultural, fishery, forestry and food products; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HurdThe Community's ban on Argentine imports was an impressive demonstration of political solidarity with the United Kingdom in the face of unprovoked aggression against the dependent territory of a member State of the Community. The information needed to estimate the effectiveness of the import ban in respect of agricultural, fishery, forestry and food, as of other products, is not available at present.
