the impediments to trade that exist in the form of legis-
lative or administrative controls over imports in various
countries.
We discussed in Europe the great concern in the
United States about some aspects of the common agricultural
policy of the Common Market countries and we discussed the
matter of textiles.
To go back over these subjects very briefly, on
non-tariff barriers we pointed out the great and growing
concern among American businessmen over such matters as
border taxes in the Common Market countries; the inability
of American companies successfully to do business with
governments and government entities; the difficulties being
encountered by American business under regulations and laws
imposed for reasons of safety and health in other countries;
our concern about growing export subsidies in other countries
and so on.
We made the point, a rather obvious one, that all
of these matters were barriers to trade and we acknowledged
we had some in the United States.

We expressed great concern over the fact that
there were many obstacles to trade that were imposed by
administrative action in which no one official policy
23
existed, but which could, of course, greatly impede the
24
traffic and goods.
