HC Deb 20 November 1991 vol 199 c199W
Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will outline the areas of policy in which the EC and its institutions would seek participation in terms of the draft treaty of union considered by Foreign Ministers on 12 and 13 November; and if he will publish a list of the areas in which EC participation is not sought in terms of the draft.

Mr. Garel-Jones

The latest composite draft treaty texts circulated by the Dutch presidency, which are available in the Library, provide a comprehensive survey of all the areas where it is proposed to amend the existing provisions of the treaty of Rome. They also include the proposals for increasing inter-governmental co-operation within the framework of the Union.
