HC Deb 30 November 1994 vol 250 c710W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what attempts have been made to have an integrated European Union approach to the current political situation in Algeria; and what was the outcome.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

On 30 May 1994 the EU ministerial troika visited Algiers. The conclusions of the European Council at Corfu on 24–25 June 1994 included a passage on Algeria. The EU issued a joint statement on Algeria on 26 September 1994.

Unfortunately the cessation of violence and the dialogue for which the EU has called have not come about.
