§ 68. Mrs. Maureen HicksTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to strengthen the relationship between the European Community and the United States.
§ Mr. MaudeWe have set out a framework for a strengthened EC-US relationship. We have proposed more frequent ministerial meetings, closer consultation between officials on political co-operation subjects and more regular high-level dialogue on Community issues. We want to create with these elements a new transatlantic consultative partnership. A package on the lines we have proposed has gained wide support within the Community and in the United States.
