HC Deb 12 November 1984 vol 67 c86W
Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement about new Government initiatives to introduce fair competition and an equalisation of tariffs in motor vehicle exports to, and imports from, Spain.

Mr. Channon

The key to fair competition in trade in motor vehicles with Spain lies in her negotiations for entry into the European Community. The Community has now made its position clear. Under pressure from Her Majesty's Government it calls for special provision for tariffs on cars to secure a substantial improvement for entry into the Spanish market as from accession.
