Vol. 378 No. 9

Written Answers. - Action on South African Imports.

34.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will undertake a programme of increased economic sanctions against South Africa.

I will continue to work, within the Twelve, for agreement to take further common measures with regard to South Africa such as a ban on imports of coal from South Africa, as well as seeking to persuade other partners to follow our example by imposing restrictions on imports of fruit and vegetables from South Africa. I consider such concerted action by the Twelve to be more effective than any unilateral action Ireland might take.
