Mr. Redwood

When he sees his EC colleagues at the informal Trade Ministers' meeting in Dublin this week, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry will be discussing developments in the Uruguay round negotiations on international trade in textiles and the way forward, both in relation to the EC's preferred method of phasing out the multi-fibre arrangement over a transitional period and the parallel strengthening of GATT rules and disciplines.
