§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what decisions were taken at the governing council of GATT in Geneva on 22 February on the link between trade and the environment.
§ Mr. NeedhamOn 22 February the GATT council considered and agreed the outline of the GATT report to the United Nations Commission for Sustainable Development on GATT activities following the 1992 UNCED conference. The report will highlight the contribution of the Uruguay round to sustainable development, as well as pointing to the value of analytical work already carried out in GATT. Contracting parties see the December 1993 decision on future trade and environment work as evidence of continued commitment to this important issue.
