inclusion of the border line developing countries
such as Spain, Israel, Greece, Rumania, etc.,
even though in some cases this would increase
the difficulties of certain domestic industries
and Commonwealth suppliers. If, and when, other
countries breach the principle we would have to
reconsider our position and it might well be
that if other countries were excluding potential
beneficiaries we ourselves would want to take
the opportunity to exclude countries such as
Spain to which we did not want to extend benefits
Para. 36. I suggest that the final sentence
might begin "We shall need to keep in close
touch with the EEC on this issue and to discuss
the problem with the Commonwealth developing
countries concerned
2.
On a more general point I suggest that
releg there might be advantage in ££££ting some of
the purely factual material in the paper,e.g.
the descriptions of the various countries' sub-
missions, to an annex so that the questions of
policy in paragraphs 17 onwards can be reached
more quickly. It would also be helpful if the paper could refer consistently to "duty free quotes"
The use of the term "duty quotas" in certain
might
paragraphs can lead to confusion.
