THAT iNE U.S.A. MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THAT THE TWO COUNTRIES SHOULD CONTINUE TO DISCUSS IT.
5. MR. STANS ALSO SAW M. ORTOLI, MINISTER OF FINANCE AND ECONOMY AND M. BETTENCOURT, MINISTER OF INDUSTRY. WE HAD RECEIVED SOME INDICATIONS FROM A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FRENCH TEXTILE INDUSTRY THAT THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT MIGHT BE DISPOSED TO BE MORE CONCILIATRY THAN HAD THE BELGIANS OR THE GERMANS. HOWEVER, THE ONLY CONCESSION WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MADE TO M. STANS ORIGINATED WITH
M. BETTENCOURT (WHO, AS BRUNET EXPLAINED, FINDS IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BE UTTERLY UNKIND TO ANYONE). HE AGREED THAT THE TEXTILE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FURTHER DISCUSSED AT A MEETING THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN OFFICIALS OF HIS MINISTRY AND MEMBERS OF MR. STANS' PARTY. BRUNET EXPRESSED SOME ANNOYANCE AT THIS DEVELOPMENT SINCE HE FELT THAT M. BETTENCOURT HAD RATHER STEPPED OUTSIDE THE PARTY LINE. HE ADDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT HAD HAD NO DISCUSSIONS WITH... INDUSTRY ON MR. STANS' VISIT.

MR. STANS ALSO RAISED WITH M. DEBRE THE QUESTIONS OF NON-TARIFF BARRIERS, BORDER TAXES AND THE COMMISSION'S PROPOSAL ON SOYA BEANS. M. DEBRE POINTED OUT THAT NON-TARIFF BARRIERS WERE BEING DISCUSSED IN GATT. ON SOYA BEANS, BRUNET SAID THAT MR. STANS MUST HAVE GATHERED FROM WHAT THE FRENCH SAID THAT THEY WERE IN FAVOUR OF THE COMMISSIONS PROPOSAL.
