FALTHEIN'S APPROACH TO SELLERS IN DECEMBER MENTIONED ACRYLIC,
BUT THIS WAS DROPPED WHEN SELLERS POINTED OUT THAT ONLY WOOL
WERE UNDER E/A. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT TO SEEK FURTHER INFORMATION ON
ACRYLIC AT THIS STAGE WOULD INVITE SWEDES TO SEEK EXTENSION INTO THIS
FIELD WHERE EXPORTS CAN STILL GROW.
4.
EX. 751.
TALE ANORAKS OF DISCONTINUOUS AND CONTINUOUS SYNTHETIC ARE UNDER
RESTRAINT.
SWEDES PROVIDED PRODUCTION, IMPORT AND EXPORT FIGURES
IN TABLES PASSED TO YOU VIA MY LONDON OFFICE, THESE SUW PRODUCTION
INCREASING 1965-1967 BUT DECLINING JANUARY-ÜCTOBER IN 1968
AS COMPARED WITH 1967, WHILE THROUGHOUT PERIOD IMPORTS INCREASED
AND
ID HONG KONG WAS PRINCIPAL SUPPLIER.
ら
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS HARDLY NECESSARY.
MY DELEGATION WILL OF COURSE RESIST STRONGLY ON 751 BUT IN THE
END MAY HAVE TO CONCEDE RESTRAINT.
FCO PASS IMM TO STCKHLM AND GENEVAD
