7.
In the event that the issue of Export Authorisations
for any item is suspended, at the request of the Swedish Government
in accordance with the procedure set out in the preceding paragraph,
it is my understanding that the Swedish Government would be prepared
to consider giving its consent to the extension of validity of an
existing Export Authorisation by a period not exceeding 90 days,
if it is satisfied that the failure to apply for an Export Licence
within the period of validity of the Export Authorisation has been
caused by circumstances beyond the control of the person to whom
the Export Authorisation was issued.
8.
It is, as I explained, an essential part of this system
that the importing country should undertake to admit imports of
all goods covered by Export Authorisations issued before the time
at which the importing country requested that such issue should be
discontinued.
9.
I should be grateful if you would inform me whether you
can agree that this system should be introduced on the basis that
I have described in the above paragraphs.
