Bernard Allen (Cork North Central, Fine Gael)

I refer to question No. 3 on the EU and the developing world and I will not read it in its entirety. It includes the following sentence, "If Europe is to be a 'responsible' player on the world stage, the evolution of its policies as they affect developing countries in particular, is of crucial significance." I ask that the Minister of State give a detailed response to that important question because a well-informed person has gone to much trouble to submit it and it is important we get a response on the record of the House.
