Hong Kong's principal competitors are India,

Pakistan, South Korea, Colombia, Yugoslavia, Brazil

and Thailand. Of these only Philippines, Thailand

and Yugoslavia have become beneficiaries for

categories (c) and (a) this year. The inclusion

of these countries in the two categories covering

cotton textiles in 1973 could be quoted as a

precedent for trying to obtain the inclusion of

Hong Kong.
