§ Mr. MorleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the EC matters which it was agreed, in connection with the subsidiarity principle, should continue to be dealt with at the EC level rather than the national level, at the meeting between the British and French Governments of 15 June.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryThe meeting between the United Kingdom and French Governments on 15 June discussed ways to take forward implementation of the subsidiarity principle. This included work to identify existing legislation for amendment or repeal, to strengthen the Commission's report on subsidiarity which it will present at the Brussels European Council in December. There was no specific discussion between the two Governments about which European Community matters should continue to be dealt with at Community level.
