Question:149 Mr. Andrews asked the Minister for Tourism and Trade the plans, if any, he has for the future of the export credit insurance scheme. [10944/95]
Written Answers. - Export Credit Insurance Scheme.
As the Deputy may be aware, the State export credit insurance scheme was restructured at the end of 1991. Cover is now provided for short term political risk and medium-term commercial and political risk. Short-term commercial risk cover, provided by the State up to end of 1991, must now be obtained from the private sector.
I have no plans to change the current operation of the scheme.
