§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he is taking to ensure that after March 1991 Japanese tariffs on leather are reduced to not more than 10 per cent. and their quota system abolished.
§ Mr. RedwoodThe European Community is pressing Japan, directly and through the GATT Uruguay round negotiations, to improve access for our exporters of leather goods when the present EC-Japan agreement expires in 1991. We fully support the Community and have drawn the particular concerns of the British industry to the attention of the European Commission.
