HC Deb 04 February 1993 vol 218 cc258-9W
Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the meeting of the EC-Israel Co-operation Council on 1 February.

Mr. Garel-Jones

The EC-Israel Co-operation Council on 1 February reviewed co-operation under the 1975 agreement, and agreed that the Commission should continue its exploratory discussions on updating this agreement. EC Foreign Ministers subsequently reiterated their support for the peace process and repeated their condemnation of the Israeli deportation of over 400 Palestinians which risked endangering the peace process and preventing the updating of the agreement.
