HC Deb 12 February 1986 vol 91 c480W
25. Mr. Ottaway

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on progress being made towards opening up the internal market within the Community.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The Council adopted a number of measures in 1985 which will help remove barriers to trade in goods and services in the Community. The presidency action programme for 1986 lists more than a hundred further measures capable of adoption this year as part of the objective, agreed by successive European Councils, of completing the internal market by 1992.
