Your tel No 368 of 4 April.
EEC RESTRAINTS ON NON-COTTON IMPORTS
1.
The date of the next Community meeting to
discuss this matter, changed from 10 April to
2 May, has now been changed again to 16 April.
It appears that some urgency has returned and there
is likely to be pressure from the Commission on
all member states for prompt agreement on a mandate
to negotiate with Hong Kong.

While we appreciate your difficulties we must
leave to your judgement whether or not a unilateral
gesture to Benelux would still serve a useful
purpose.
Our assessment is that Benelux is
probably unwilling to let the matter drop or drift
without a mandate being granted.
