There is only one such case. Negotiations are in progress between the EEC and African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries for renewal of the existing Agreement (Lome II) which will expire in February 1985. As less than 2 per cent of our total international trade is involved it is not anticipated that renewal of the agreement will have any significant effect on Irish trade and industry.
