Mr. Vaz

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has regular contact with his French counterpart, M. Vedrine, on a number of issues, including the French Presidency of the European Union. He is next due to discuss the Presidency with M. Vedrine on 21 June. I also met Pierre Moscovici, the French Minister for Europe, in Santa Maria da Feira to discuss the Presidency.
