HC Deb 22 June 1992 vol 210 c60W
Mr. Spearing

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what barriers to trade, within the European Economic Community for recreational craft of between 2.5 and 24 m length for use on inland waterways or coastal waters, have been identified by the European Commission which are associated with draft directive 6119/92 concerning the removal of any such barriers.

Mr. Sainsbury

The barriers to trade identified by the European Community Commission are the technical rules for type approval under national legislation applying in France and Italy.
