HC Deb 14 April 1993 vol 222 c576W
29. Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will set out the principal areas of policy or administration for which the European Community has exclusive responsibility.

Mr. Garel-Jones

The European Community has exclusive competence where that is conferred upon it by treaty provision or measures taken under the treaty. It is not possible to draw up an exhaustive theoretical list. Current examples include the common agricultural policy, the common commercial policy and the external tariff.
