HC Deb 24 July 1985 vol 83 c592W
78. Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consideration has been given by the Council of Ministers of the European Economic Community to the communication received from COMECON concerning mutual co-operation.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

The Milan European Council on 28–29 June held an exchange of views on the recent letter from the council for Mutual Economic Assistance to the Commission, which proposed the resumption of mutual relations. The European Council noted that an exploratory mandate had been given to the Commission, and considered that the results of these contacts should now be awaited.
