RIPT A PM/CHANCELLOR KOHL -

atifying the treaty at the end of November in the Federal
Parliament and then the second Chamber will discuss this in the
middle of December and ratify the treaty also.
We also wish to undertake all we can and we agreed on this point,
the Prime Minister and myself, that we must find a way for our
Danish friends to ratify the Treaty of Maastricht for as far as
the German position is concerned I would emphasise once again that
we wish to move into the future with all Community states, it is
not our objective to create a Europe with two or three speeds, but
we also do not want to have a Europe a la carte.
GATT
Prime Minister Major, just to mention the GATT round, and I can
only support everything that he said, both of us over the last few
weeks, I think up to the last few hours, have been conducting
joint work on this subject and trying to ensure that the GAT
round comes to a successful conclusion. The situation of
countries of the Third World, the situation as regards a recession
in our economic development should force us to sensible action and
should then help us to move towards a compromise.
QUESTION:
Can you tell me,
Chancellor, how the negotiations on the EFA
project went on and whether the two Ministers came closer
together?
