§ Mr. MaudeTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on financial and trade links between(a) Serbia and Iraq and (b) the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Iraq. [126626]
§ Mr. Vaz[holding answer 19 June 2000]: There are no reliable figures for FRY/Iraq trade but according to official FRY figures it does not appear to be a significant element in the FRY balance of payments. The FRY has participated in the UN's oil for food programme, bartering grain exports for oil.
