How does the British Government conceive the European

attitude to external trade? In particular, with what

qualifications would it accept the external tariff wall

of the Common Market?

A. So far as tariffs are concerned, we shall be prepared to accept the Common External Tariff as it will stand

after the Kennedy Round reductions have been made. We

shall of course also need to discuss how our tariff

structure will be adjusted to that of the Community within a transitional period.
