HC Deb 12 June 2003 vol 406 c1043W
Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with his EU counterparts on EU enlargement. [118500]

Mr. MacShane

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary discussed EU Enlargement with EU counterparts during the European Conference on 17 April. He also has such discussions with EU counterparts in Brussels on a regular monthly basis, in the forum of the General Affairs and External Relations Council. EU Enlargement is also a frequent subject of discussion during other less formal contacts with EU counterparts, at both Ministerial and official levels.
