121 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs if the Government will actively urge the EU to work with the 77 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries at the WTO to achieve an extension of the Cotonou waiver or to change GATT Article XXIV in order that Europe can continue to give preferential access to developing countries; and his views on whether this approach is preferable to pushing ahead with reciprocal economic partnership agreements in view of the fact that the EU 25 and the ACP 77 together constitute the vast majority of WTO members.
