Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on WTO Conference (Hong Kong).


WTO Conference (Hong Kong)

No, because that was not the focus of the discussions, but north-north trade is very important. There was a significant development in Brussels a couple of months ago, when we opened a dialogue with the United States Government about EU-US trade. The hon. Gentleman is right: there are a number of barriers. Let me add that it would be good if we opened up trade in services within the EU as well as across the world.
