PROPER CONSIDERATION TO THE VIEWS OF MEMBER STATES
DELEGATIONS IN THE ARTICLE 113 COMMITTEE BEFORE PROPOSALS ARE
SUBMITTED FORMALLY TO THE COMMUNITY'S NEGOTIATING PARTNERS.
(IV) FOURTH, WE HAVE NOTED THAT AN EFFECTIVE TRIGGER MECHANISM
FOR THE EXTRACTION OF PRODUCTS IN GROUPS 3, 4 AND 5 WILL HAVE TO BE WORKED OUT URGENTLY, WE LOOK FORWARD TO PARTICIPATING
IN EARLY DISCUSSIONS ON THIS POINT.
(V) FINALLY, WE HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE QUESTION OF COTTON YARN IMPORTS INTO THE UNITED KINGDOM IS OF PECULIAR SOCIAL AND POLITICAL SENSITIVITY FOR US. WE STILL HOPE THAT IT WILL
BE POSSIBLE FOR GROWTH INTO THE UNITED KINGDOM TO BE LIMITED
TO ZERO PERCENT.
I HOPE THAT THE COMMISSION CAN GIVE ME THE CONFIRMATION I NEED ON THESE POINTS.
