§ Mr. WrayTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to propose closer and improved economic and cultural co-operation with Latin American democratic countries at the next meeting of the European Council in Rome.
§ Mr. Garel-JonesWe support closer ties between the European Community and Latin America. I have written to the Italian Foreign Minister proposing ways to strengthen the relationship through increased trade liberalisation in the context of the GATT round. A meeting between Foreign Ministers of the Community and Latin America countries on 20 December will provide a further opportunity to discuss improved co-operation.
