Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what progress is being made within the European Community for the complete harmonisation of national rules for health protection.

Mr. Channon

A number of directives harmonising national rules in the area of health protection have been adopted. A list of further Commission proposals for directives to be adopted by 1992 on veterinary and phytosanitary controls, food law, pharmaceutical and high-technology medicines, and chemical products and other manufactured goods are given in the annex to the Commission's White Paper"—Completing the Internal Market". A copy of this White Paper is available in the Library.
