HC Deb 15 May 1984 vol 60 c95W
Sir Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what are the names of the countries which have not implemented the co-insurance directive and have been brought before the European Court of Justice.

Mr. Fletcher

The Commission of the European Communities has brought actions in the European Court of Justice against France and Denmark over the manner in which these countries have implemented the non-life coinsurance directive in their own legislations.

Sir Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations his Department has made regarding unfair competition in the co-insurance industry to the various countries that have not implemented the co-insurance directive; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Fletcher

None specifically, but the United Kingdom is intervening in support of the Commission of the European Communities in the cases against France and Denmark brought by the Commission in the European Court of Justice.
