This is a problem for both sides: the Commun·
ity's import figures for some products are either very crude
estimates Or not obtainable at all. In the case of one
item (anoraks, windcheaters, parkas) the Community admitted
that it could not isolate any import statistics for this item.
Despite this, we were urged, in all seriousness, to accept
the concept that the product could be a "very sensitive"
one, even though the Community could not produce any import
at all nor consequently any proposal for a limit.
They
asked us to produce our export figures to help them

system contains a lot of changes from the existing one. But
where products in existing categories have been regrouped
into different categories, the Community sometimes has no means
of identifying the amount of trade in particular elements in the
new categories. Obviously this is necessary because the
appropriate quantities should be transferred to the new
categories. In other words, where product X may have been
transferred from Category A to Category B, the trade figures
for product X should also be transferred from Cat A to Cat B.
Where the Community does not have any figures, however,
it proposes to leave that portion of the limit represented
by the level of trade in product X in category A.
we could end up with quotas we cannot use at all.
