CONSIDERED. WE BELIEVE HOWEVER THAT THE MEASURES ENVISAGED BY THE COMMISSION SHOULD APPLY IN THOSE REGIONS OF THE COMMUNITY WHERE SIMILAR DISRUPTION AND DAMAGE ARE BEING CAUSED. FOR THREE OF THE
FOUR PRODUCTS UIDER DISCUSSION THE UK HAS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER IMPORT PENETRATION THAN THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND CUMULATIVE DISRUPTION IS OCCURRING IN OUR MARKET IN ALL FOUR:
3. WE DELIEVE THERE IS A CASE OF STATISTICAL GROUNDS FOR SEEKING
RESTRAINTS ON BEHALF OF THE UK NOW AGAINST THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES:
COTTON YARN
+
KNITTED SHIRTS
WOVEN SHIRTS
PAKISTAN, UGANDA
ISRAEL, GREECE, TURKEY
CYPRUS
J
FOR THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES, WE WOULD LIKE THE OPENING OF
CONSULTATIONS, THOUGH THESE NEED NOT NECESSARILY LEAD TO IMMEDIATE
RESTRAINTS:
COTTON YARN
KNITTED SHIRTS
YUGOSLAVIA
MALTA
FOR THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES, ALTHOUGH A STATISTICAL CASE DOES NOT EXIST FOR IMMEDIATE RESTRAINTS WE WOULD WANT ACTION WITHIN 3 MONTHS
IF THE UK EXPERIENCED A SHARP AND SUDSTANTIAL INCREASE IN IMPORTS:
COTTON YARN
KNITTED SHIRTS
WOVEN PLOUSES
MALTA, EGYPT MALAYSIA
HALTA, GREECE.
(PAKISTAN, YUGOSLAVIA, EGYPT AND MALTA ARE PEA SIGNATORIES: UGANDA BELONGS TO THE LOME CONVENTION: ISRAEL HAS A PREFERENTIAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY: THE REMAINDER ARE ASSOCIATES). WE WILL OF
COURSE HAVE TO STUDY THE WHOLE PACKAGE AS IT IS PRODUCED TO TAKE
ACCOUNT OF OUR WISHES AND THOSE OF OTHER MEMPER STATES. IN
CONSIDERING ACTION AGAINST PAKISTAN, WE HAVE IN MIND THAT SHE IS
ONE OF THE POOREST DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND WILL THEREFORE WANT TO LOOK CAREFULLY BEFORE IMPOSING A SEVERE PESTRAINT IN THIS
CASE.
4. WE WOULD LIKE CONFIRMATION THAT WHATEVER LEVELS OF RESTRAINT
THE COMMISSION SEEKS TO ACHIEVE FOR 1977 THESE HOULD POT AFFECT
THE GLOBAL CEILINGS FOR 1978 AND SURSEQUENT YEARS, AMD HEMDER STATES. SHARES OF THER, WHICH ARE BEING WORKED OUT TY TUS TEXTILE MOPKING
