Mr. Ancram

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which international organisations Zimbabweans subject to an EU travel ban are allowed to attend. [62318]

International treaty obligations oblige EU member states to grant exemptions to the travel ban for attendance at meetings of some international organisations, for example, the United Nations and Interpol. Restrictions remain on movement outside of meetings.

Mr. MacShane

Zimbabwe will be discussed today at the General Affairs Council. EU Foreign Ministers will review developments on the ground. Extending measures against Zrmbabwe's ruling party remains under consideration.
