HC Deb 13 January 1993 vol 216 c754W
20. Mr. Hoon

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he will next be meeting the President of the European Commission to discuss the reform of the European Community's decision-making process.

Mr. Garel-Jones

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has no plans to discuss further reforms of the Community's decision-making process with the president of the Commission in the immediate future. The Maastricht treaty, when it enters into force, will involve some changes. Before that, following agreement at Edinburgh a number of changes designed to ensure subsidiarity is respected will be given effect immediately.
