(B) IF THERE WERE SUCH
UOTE DEPARTURES UNQUOTE THE IMPORTING
COUNTRY WOULD RETURN TO A QUOTE MONE NORMAL REGIME UNQUOTE AS
COON AS POSSIBLE.
(C) THE TSB WOULD OPERATE ON THE BASIS OF THE MEA QUOTE AS
EXTENDED UNIQUOTE:
(D) IMPORTING COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE EEC WANTED TO HAVE A SIMILAR
RIGHT TO QUOTE REASONABLE DEPARTURES UNQUOTE.
3. WE WITH OTHER DELEGATIONS, EXPRESSED GREAT CONCERN ABOUT
THESE ELEMENTS AND THE ABSENCE OF A TEXT. OUR MAIN CONCERN WAS THE
IMPLICATION FOR
(1) THE OPERATION OF THE TRIGGER HECHANISH AS SET OUT IN ARTICLE
6 OF THE DRAFT MODEL BILATERAL AGREEMENT:
(2) FUTURE ACTION AGAINST SUPPLIERS WITHOUT BILATERAL AGREEMENTS (OR IN THE EVENT OF ABROGATION OF A BILATERAL AGREEMENT).
4 KLARTC MAINTAINED THAT NONE OF THIS IN THE COMMISSION'S
VIEW CAUSED ANY PROBLEMS FOR THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HAD ALREADY
TAKEN OUR QUOTE REASONABLE DEPARTURES UNQUOTE. WE SAID THE
WORDING DESCRIBED WAS SO AMBIGUOUS AS TO LEAVE IT OPEN FOR
EXPORTING COUNTRIES TO CHALLENGE IN THE T3D ANY FUTURE ACTION DY THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE OPERATION OF THE TRIGGER
MECHANISM. THE FRENCH AND DUTCH WERE ALSO CLEARLY UNHAPPY.
5. THE COMMISSION WERE ALSO ASKED ABOUT DAVIGNON'S PRESENTATION TO AMBASSADORS IN BRUSSELS, IN PARTICULAR WHETHER FINAL FIGURES
FOR INDIVIDUAL MENDER STATES WOULD BE INCLUDED. KLARIS SAID THE REPORT WOULD INCLUDE FIGURES FOR MEMBER STATES (WHICH WERE
CURRENTLY BEING PROCESSED BY THE BONN COMPUTER). IN RESPONSE
TO A DUTCH QUESTION HE CONFIRMED THAT THE MEMBER STATES' BREAKDOWN
WOULD REFLECT FAITHFULLY THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE BURDEN SHARING
FORMULA AS AGREED BY THE 113 COMMITTEE AND AS. DISCUSSED IN
DILATERAL CONTACTS DETWEEN THE COMMISSION AND INDIVIDUAL MEMBER
STATES (INCLUDING OURSELVES). NEUNDORFER CAUSED CONSIDERABLE
CONSTERNATION WHEN HE REPORTED THAT HIS PEOPLE IN BONN HAD
RECEIVED NO (REPEAT NO) FIGURES FROM THE COMMISSION FOR
BY THE COMPUTER.
