18. Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has held relating to the relationship between the European Union and Caribbean countries. [44531]

Mr. Doug Henderson

We are in frequent contact with Caribbean colleagues at both ministerial and senior official level. My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary discussed the relationship between the European Union and the Caribbean with representatives from the region at the UK/Caribbean Forum in Nassau, Bahamas, in February. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Development also discussed the future of the Lomé Convention at the ACP-EC Council of Ministers in Barbados in May.
