CONSULTATIONS WITH DEPENDENT TERRITORIES OVER
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.
