EXPORT OF RESTRAINED TEXTILES TO EEC COMPANY QUOTAS TO BE ISSUED ON FRIDAY
****
THE DIRECTOR OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. MR. JIMMY MCGREGOR, ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT ON FRIDAY (AUGUST 8) THE DEPARTMENT WILL ISSUE COMPANY QUOTAS IN RESPECT OF THE BULK OF TEXTILE PRODUCTS UNDER EXPORT RESTRAINT TO THE EEC. LIKEWISE, LICENSING FOR SUCH EXPORT ITEMS WILL COMMENCE ON THE SAME DAY.
MR. MCGREGOR SAID, HOWEVER, THAT QUOTA ALLOCATION AND LICENSING FOR EXPORTS TO THE EEC OF KNIT PULLOVERS AND, PERHAPS, A FEW OTHER ITEMS WILL TAKE SEVERAL MORE DAYS DUE TO THE NEED FOR MORE DETAILED CALCULATIONS.
MR. MCGREGOR ASSURED MANUFACTURERS AND EXPORTERS THAT QUOTAS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN VARYING AMOUNTS FOR ALL CATEGORIES OF TEXTILE EXPORTS TO THE COMMON MARKET.
HE SAID THAT CALCULATION OF QUOTAS, BASED ON PAST EXPORT PERFORMANCE, WAS A TIME-CONSUMING TASK AND THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN ABLE TO ALLOCATE QUOTAS AND LICENSING ONLY BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL STAFF HELP IT HAD OBTAINED AS WELL AS THE WILLINGNESS OF THE STAFF INVOLVED TO WORK LATE INTO THE NIGHT DURING WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS.
