HC Deb 26 March 1985 vol 76 c139W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if goods and materials entering Germany from East Germany in terms of the inner German trade agreement are subject to the Common Market's antidumping procedures; and if the Common Market Commission has any role in supervising these arrangements.

Mr. Channon

[pursuant to the reply, 25 March 1985]: The Community's anti-dumping procedures do not apply to inner German trade. However, member states can act to ensure that the special provisions for inner German trade do not undermine any anti-dumping measures imposed by the Council or the Commission in the rest of the Community. Member states would wish to maintain contact with the Federal German Government and with the Commission in relation to any such action.
