NEGOTIATIONS FOR BRITISH ENTRY TO THE EEC

Following Personal for Governor/Administrator/High

Commissioner/Resident Commissioner:

As you will know). negotiations for our entry

(As

Arci

into the European Communities sirould begin next

month. The negotiating position which we shall

take up is broadly that which we adopted when we

made our application in 1967, and is set out in

the then Foreign Secretary, Mr. George Brown's

statement to the WEU Council of Ministers on 4 July,

1967 While it is our wish that the negotiations

should concentrate on the major issues which need to

be resolved, it would be foolish to think that the

'negotiations will be short or quickly concluded.

2. You will already have seen that

at Jour

ur negotiating

will team is to be led by the Chancellor of the Duchy of

CONFIDENTT AL

/Lancaster.
