ADDRESSED TO FCO TEL NO 8 OF 9 JANUARY
REPEATED FOR
INFORMATION TO HONG KONG
FOLLOWING FROM JORDAN
UNCTAD PREFERENCE SCHEME.
DE GEER SAID TODAY THAT NORDICS HAD NOT YET FINALISED THEIR LISTS. DANES AND SWEDES FAVOUR NO EXCEPTIONS IN CHAPTERS
છે.
25 - 99 BUT OTHERS DO. EVENTUAL LIST IS LIKELY TO BE SHORT. 2. THEY ARE AWARE OF EUROPEAN COMMISSION PROPOSAL TO EXCLUDE HONG KONG BUT DO NOT INTEND TO PROPOSE THIS THEMSELVES. 3. SWEDES AT LEAST ARE NOT MUCH CONCERNED BECAUSE, THEY SAY, THEIR TARIFF IS SO LOW THAT PREFERENCES COULD HAVE LITTLE EFFECT. THEY DO NOT PROPOSE TO EXCLUDE TEXTILES BECAUSE THESE ''QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS ARE WHAT MATTER''.
