Mr. Donegan:
asked the Taoiseach what improvements in the balance of trade have been effected with Common Market countries in this country's efforts to gain a foothold in their home markets before accession to the Treaty of Rome; and what increase in exports they have effected to this country over the last five years for which figures are available.
Parliamentary Secretary to the Taoiseach (Mr. Andrews):
I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the value of imports, total exports and the import excess for the European Economic Community for each year since 1966 and for January-August, 1971.
