9. We have given further consideration to
the following on the basis of a letter from the Minister. We
maintain our opinion[20] that
it raises questions of political importance, but now make no
recommendation for its further consideration:--
Overseas Development Administration
(17507) 10132/96 COM(96)441 |
Draft Decision on the adoption of guidelines for MEDA
indicative programmes. |
Legal base: |
Article 9(1) of the MEDA Regulation (1488/96); qualified
majority voting. |
9.1 We reported on this proposal on 6 November,
and asked the Government to provide further information on the
progress of negotiations. We have now received a letter, dated
18 November, from the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Dr Fox) providing that
information. We shall be reporting on the substance of this
letter in our next Report, but we are now clearing the document.
