§ Mr. Marlowasked the Minister for Trade what indications there are of the loss of trade suffered by each European Community country with the Argentine during the period of sanctions; and if he is able to estimate the amount that is likely to be recovered over the subsequent months.
§ Mr. Peter ReesThe statistics showing levels of trade between individual EEC countries and Argentina since sanctions were introduced are not yet available. My hon. Friend will appreciate the difficulty of making any meaningful estimates about future trade patterns at a time of such uncertainty about the performance of the Argentine economy.
