77. Mr. Dykes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will hold meetings with his French and German counterparts in the European Community Council of Ministers to discuss progress towards economic and monetary union as agreed at the Stuttgart declaration of 1983 and subsequent meetings of the European Council.

Mr. Maude

Yes.

79. Mr. Gill

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consideration has been given to the future constitution of the European Parliament in the context of European political union.

Mr. Maude

As agreed at the informal European Council in Dublin on 28 April, EC Foreign Ministers will undertake a detailed examination and analysis of the need for possible treaty changes. We expect the powers of the European Parliament to be discussed in that context.
