Are there any other comments on Paragraph 77
(Agreed)
We will now take up the Report of the Ad Hoo Sub-committee
on Paragraph 3 or Artiole XXIV.
I will ask M. Royer, the
Chairmen of the report of his
the Sub-committee, to intr
Committee
M. ROYER (France) (interpretation): Mr. Chairman, the first question the Sub-committee took up was whether Burma, Ceylon and Southern Rhodesia could be edmitted as contracting parties to the
General Agreement
Te did not consider the question as to whether the present state of negotiations for these countries was sufficient to allow them to participate as contracting parties to the General
creement, because this question was beyond our terms of refermice.
t:
We asked the Delegetion of the United Kingdom to throw light upon the four questions which are mentioned on Page 1 of Document T/198 and the United Kingdom Delegation gave answers to these four questions. These answers were confirmed in a letter sent on September 15 by the Head of the United Kingdom Delegation to the Executive Secretary to the Trade and Employment Conference.
In the light or the information which we obtained from the United Kingdom Delagation, the Sub-committee decided to recommend
that is, the admission of the thras territories mentioned above,
Ceylon
Burma and Southern Rhodesia, as full contracting parties
to the General Agreement.
Some consequential changes had to be made to the draft of the Agreement, so that the provisions could fit into the framework of the General Agreement, Fe thought the automatic reproduction of the provisions of the Draft Charter did not correspond exactly to the intentions of the authors of the draft of the General Agreement.
