The newly set-up Action Committee on
Generalised Preferences met at the offices of the
Trade Development Council yesterday (Wednesday,
April 10) to discuss progress in seeking access to
the E.E.C. General Preference Scheme for Hong Kong
textiles and footwear,
The committee met under the Chairman-
ship of Sir Y.K. Kan, T.D.C. Chairman and was
attended by heads of the local leading trade and
industrial associations involved in the two
industries.
The committee decided to urge the
government to pursue ways and means of redressing
the discrimination against our textile and footwear
industries in respect of the British acceptance
of the E.E.C. General Preference Scheme to the
benefit of our principal competitors.
Members of the committee will ask
the government to confirm the British government's
intention of seeking re-negotiation with the
E.E.C. Commission as in the manner proposed by
the Secretary of State last year.
