Zealand and the newly industrialised countries). Non-tariff measures (notably quantitive restrictions)
will also be covered.
TROPICAL PRODUCTS AND NATURAL RESOURCE-BASED PRODUCTS
4. To be discussed with the aim of "the fullest
liberalisation of trade".
Negotiations will cover
processed and semi-processed as well as raw products.
Tropical products is the one area in the Declaration
identified as a priority.
TEXTILES AND CLOTHING
5.
"Negotiations in the area of textiles and clothing
shall aim to formulate modalities that would permit the
eventual integration of this sector into GATT on the
basis of strengthened GATT rules and disciplines,
thereby also contributing to the objective of further
liberalisation of trade". This reflects closely the
EC's declared position. The Community has made it
clear that agreement on an end to the Multi-Fibre
Arrangement is dependent on satisfactory conclusions to
negotiations in other areas (for example the graduation
of the NICs and an adequate safeguard emergency
protection clause).
