§ Mr. MitchellTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what are the(a) current activities and (b) future plans for expenditure arising from the proposal of the Commission of the European Community for the creation of an Africa, Caribbean and Pacific diversification and development programme for banana producers in Latin America in document COM(92) 496 and any subsequent measure; and if she will list for each state concerned (i) the finance committed and already expended and for what purposes and (ii) the authorising body and budget lines in the Community Budget. [13412]
§ Clare ShortWe understand the proposal of the Commission of the European Communities for a Council regulation—COM(92) 496—to introduce a diversification and development programme for certain banana-producing countries of Latin America in document COM(92) 496 was not taken forward. There are therefore no current activities or future plans for expenditure.
