Mr. John David Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the relationship of the Cayman Islands to the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. RifkindThe Cayman Islands are associated with the European Economic Community under part IV of the treaty of Rome. Under the 1980 Council decision on the association of overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community, they enjoy benefits broadly similar to those which are available to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries under the Lomé convention.
