The hon. Gentleman will realise that we follow normal previous practice regarding recognition of régimes in Greece. In fact, in the original coup in April 1967 normal business was interrupted by the Labour Government, who resumed relations after six days. As for the EEC, I understand that most of our partners maintain that they recognise States and not, as we do, Governments. They simply continue to carry on normal diplomatic relations with the Greeks.
