(IV) COMMENT.

13. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF THE ARTICLE 3 AND GATT ARTICLE XIX POINTS TO WHICH THE COMMISSION'S PIECE OF PAPER, DISTRIBUTED EARLIER IN THE DAY, WAS ADDRESSED. IN OTHER RESPECTS, TOO, AN UNSATISFACTORY MEETING DESPITE ITS INORDINATE LENGTH (8 HOURS). GOOD HUMOUR HAS GENERALLY BEEN MAINTAINED BUT THERE ARE SIGNS OF DIMINISHING CONFIDENCE BETWEEN MANY MEMBER STATES' DELEGATIONS

AND THE COMMISSION.
