ADDITIONAL DEMANDS
3. A NUMBER OF MEMBER STATES HAD ADDITIONAL REQUESTS. DENMARK SAKED FOR QUOTAS ON WOVEN SHIRTS, T SHIRTS AND BLOUSES FROM MACAO, AND WOVEN SHIRTS FROM THAILAND AND SINGAPORE. BENELUX ASKED FOR QUOTAS ON COTTON YARN (SPAIN) AND T SHIRTS (PAKISTAN, MALAYSIA, PHILIPPINES, TURKEY AND GREECE). FRANCE ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL QUOTAS ON BLOUSES (MOROCCO AND TUNISIA) AND T SHIRTS (GREECE). WE EXPRESSED REGRET AT THE ABSENCE OF PAKISTAN AND
UGANDA FROM THE MEASURES ON COTTON YARN. WE DID NOT PRESS THE POINT WHEN THE COMMISSION CONFIRMED THEIR REFUSAL OF THIS REQUEST BUT SAID WE MIGHT WANT TO RAISE THIS AGAIN LATER. WE DID
ASK FORMALLY TO BE INCLUDED IN CONSULTATIONS WITH SINGAPORE ON
WOVEN SHIRTS ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT WANT ANY CHANGE IN OUR
KNITTED SHIRT QUOTA. THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS FROM MEMBER
STATES TO ANY OF THESE ADDITIONAL REQUESTS BUT THE COMMISSION
SAID THEY WOULD STICK FIRMLY TO THEIR ORIGINAL PROPOSALS,
4. THE FRENCH ALSO ASKED FOR REVISED FIGURES FOR MANY OF THE
QUOTAS ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE COMMISSION REGULATION. THEIR JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS WAS THAT IMPORTS IN THE FIRST HALF OF
1977 WERE ALREADY SO HIGH THAT THE QUOTAS PROPOSED FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF 1977 WOULD LEAD TO UNACCEPTABLE LEVELS FOR THE YEAR AS A WHOLE COMPARED TO 1976. THEIR REQUESTS, WHICH WOULD STABILISE 1977 AT A LITTLE MORE THAN 1976 LEVELS, ARE AS FOLLOWS &
