77 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if the EU General Affairs Council has recently considered the situation in Colombia. [4275/00]
Last October, the President of Colombia, Mr. Andrés Pastrana travelled to Europe to explain his country's peace process and to outline his intentions for the Plan Colombia, which will be designed to provide the economic and social underpinning for the peace process. When he addressed the European Parliament, and again when he met with Commissioner Chris Patten, President Pastrana indicated that once the peace process had got successfully under way, he would spell out the details of the kind of support Colombia would wish the European Union to provide.
