The Deputy will be aware of my reply to a similar question on the 24th of this month, when I set out the steps being taken at both the national and European Community levels in response to the present tragic situation in Cambodia.

In addition to this further Community contribution, individual member states will also be considering how best they can develop their present support for the relief operation.
