HL Deb 14 April 1993 vol 544 c63WA
Lord Tebbit

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What matters are within the sole competence of the European Community consequent upon the provision of the Treaty of Rome as amended by the Single European Act.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The 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 Common External Tariff.
