A group of U.S. governors met with officials of the European Community in Belgium to learn how their states can gain from the trading bloc’s plans to create a single market in late 1992. “We’re out to find markets for goods and products that are produced in our respective states,” said Virginia Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, chairman of the National Governors’ Assn. “At the same time, we’re interested in presenting our states as places to do business,” he told reporters in Brussels. Baliles and the governors of Iowa, Washington, New Jersey, Utah, Vermont, Kentucky and Puerto Rico also held discussions with officials from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
