distinguishable from men's and boys' trousers, the Swedish Government wanted both items under restraint with a common quota.
Other Made-up Cotton Articles Tables 1 and 2
(i) They wanted both items restrained, as made-ups and not as piecegoods.
Mr. Jordan asked if embroidered bed linen and towels were excluded from the request. After some discussion on the size of the embroidered trade and the prices charged Baron de Geer agreed to consider the matter further.

(60.04.803) fibre underwear, either as two categories or jointly in one quota.
Non-cotton Garments Table 2
(k) They sought the continuation of restraint on men's and boys' and women's and girls' woollen sweaters etc. and women's and girls' discontinuous synthetic fibre sweaters under one quota. They also wanted an E/A for men's and boys' discontinuous synthetic sweaters etc. They were dropping women's and girls' continuous synthetic knitwear.
Non-cotton Garments Table 3

As already indicated they wanted all four items of synthetic fibre anoraks under one quota.

As a general observation, Mr. Jordan remarked that the Swedish delegation had included restraint requests that had not been covered by their Memorandum. Baron de Geer thought that the reservation expressed in the Memorandum were adequate to cover those requests.
