Mr. Kumlin then mentioned that his Government was also concerned about the remaining two non-cotton items under E/As undergarments and blouses. He handed over two tables. There followed a brief discussion when Mr. Jordan pointed out that he could not accept that the decline in production, excluding

On the assumption that there would be a favourable response from Stockholm, it was agreed that E/As for ex 841.764 (polyester cotton shirts) should be resumed.
