To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) what information he has concerning the number of single market measures yet to be implemented by each EC member country; and if he will make a statement;(2) what discussions he has had with his EC counterparts about the possibility of deleting measures which have yet to be implemented from the EC single market programme; and if he will make a statement.

The most recent European Commission report shows that of the 137 measures in the White Paper programme for completion of the single market which should have been implemented up to 10 December 1991, the following were, by member state, outstanding:

	Number
Denmark	9
France	15
United Kingdom	19
Portugal	23
Greece	25
Spain	28
Germany	31
Netherlands	35
Ireland	35
Belgium	38
Luxembourg	43
Italy	65

Implementation of the single market programme is discussed regularly at meetings of the Internal Market Council. We continue to encourage proper implementation by all member states of measures already agreed, and want agreement on the outstanding White Paper proposals provided that they are genuinely necessary to complete the single market.
