§ 32. Mr. AmessTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what representations he has received from York Borg Warner of Basildon about the implications for British industry of the proposed European Economic Community regulations on the standardisation of components for the air-conditioning and cooling system industry.
§ Mr. MaudeA letter has been received from the director of manufacturing at York International about the difficulties it has experienced when trying to export to certain EEC countries because of various national inspection codes. My Office has written to the company and the official responsible for such matters will also follow up his earlier contact.
It is because of such difficulties that my Department places so much importance on the efforts now being made towards the completion of the single market by 1992 and proposed measures aimed at both pressure vessels and machinery safety should help to make it easier for manufacturers of air-conditioning equipment to sell their products into the European Community.
