European Parliament 10 February 2003, WRITTEN QUESTION E-0332/03 by Dominique Souchet (NI) to the Council. Election of Libya to chair the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

The question proposed that one of the functions of European agencies was to facilitate the operation of the European single market by acting as regulators, offering various services to industrial sectors, etc., and that the setting-up of a European agency for islands was a necessary and appropriate step to compensate for non-remote island regions’ lack of access to the free-trade area.
