§ Lord Tebbitasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are aware of any case or cases of evasion by the governments or non-governmental organisations of the European Community member states of penalties imposed under the law of the European Community.
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyWe are not aware of any such cases. It is primarily for the European Commission to ensure that penalties are not evaded and it has procedures in place to achieve this. If the Government had evidence of evasion, they would bring this to the Commission's attention.
