Enlarging the EEC Sir: Roberto Ducci concludes his article , 'Towards
an old Europe' (18 March), bY mentioning states outside the Community which, if it is kept 'sufficiently flexible', maY be attracted to it. Europe ends neither at the Pyrenees nor at the Wall and the wire; and the European realms of the Commonwealth are also part of the pattern. I hope that the incoming Conservative Administration will back Canada's VA' tractual relationship' with a CommunitY that includes both France and Britain; ensure a fair deal for New Zealand produce; and support closer economic arrangements with Australia. If Britain is European, se are they. Europe still needs the markets and supplies of the New Europe beyond the seas; and our old and honoured partners need other sources of security and development than super-powers tempted to world condominium.
