§ Mr. Stephen O'BrienTo ask the secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will place in the Library a copy of the list of priority areas for regulatory simplification submitted to the European Commission in March this year. [176350]
§ Mr. AlexanderI have been asked to reply.
A letter was sent from John Grant, UK Permanent Representative to the EU, to David O'Sullivan, Secretary General, European Commission, on 17 March 2004, highlighting the areas of Community legislation that the UK Government consider to be particular priorities for simplification. I have placed copies of the letter in the Library.
