Community action and British opposition

Summary

Collins asked whether Britain had obstructed Community sanctions. Barry said he would not single out any member state and that the Community sought measures acceptable to all.

Does the Minister agree that the British Government have been particularly unhelpful and obstructive in respect of sanctions by the Community?

Peter Barry Mr. P. Barry Fine Gael

I would not accept that any one country has been obstructive in the implementation of sanctions. The Community endeavours to work closely and to find measures on which all member states can agree.
