§ Mr. OppenheimTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what products are subject to either EC or national quotas, excluding those relating to the multi-fibre arrangement.
§ Mr. SainsburyI refer my hon. Friend to my reply of 17 January 1991,Official Report, columns 593–94. All products requiring an individual import licence are listed in the open general import licence of 4 December 1987, as amended which is published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office. I have placed in the Library of the House of Commons notice to importers 2293 which gives the provisional 1991 quota arrangements for goods from the state trading area. In addition to those listed there are restraints on a range of iron and steel goods which originate in the Soviet Union. There are also quotas on the import of bananas originating in the dollar area. Notices to importers are published in Thursday editions of Lloyd's List International.
