countries so far except Austria have done this for Chapters 1-24 (although some use 1963 figures) but no detailed information
statistical or otherwise, has been given for Chapters 25-99
and the E.E.C. have not provided any figures of what their
Canada quota ceilings would be individually or in total.

It seems clear that very detailed evaluations as done in the Kennedy Round (involving a calculation of the amount · of duty notionally foregone) is neither practicable nor necessary, bearing in mind the very wide field of trado
covered and the different nature of the various offers. there were no exceptions in Chapters 25-99, all that would need to be known would be the depth of cut, but if there are to be exceptions, figures of the relevant imports of these

be roughly evaluated by taking the value of non-excepted imports multiplied by the depth of cut (i.c., 100 per cent, 50 per
cent etc) and comparing the result with, for instance, the
value of all imports (either dutiable or total) from beneficiary developing countries under the relevant categories. Duty
quotas, however, introduce a further complication and no completely valid statistical comparison is possible between
