HC Deb 18 July 1985 vol 83 c216W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will publish in the Official Report a list of regulations or aids and practices within the energy field which have to be cleared with, or which have been challenged by the European Economic Community Commission since May 1979 under the European Economic Community treaties, together with the outcome.

Mr. Peter Walker

The following regulations, aids and practices are cleared with the European Economic Community Commission:

  • —Information relating to plans to dispose of radioactive waste
  • —State Aids for Coal
  • —Breaches of EC oil stocking obligations
  • —New formal bilateral oil stocking arrangements with other Member States

There is general accord with the European Community on energy matters, and such procedures as are necessary and appropriate are usually completed expeditiously and satisfactorily.
