According to the UD, in the text

of the existing Nomenclature,

coats made from these fabrics are to be classified in Category 14 A (men's) or Category 15 A (women's and infants'). All other garments made from these fabrics are to be classified in Category 78 or 81.

Windcheaters and waisted jackets

Member States should immediately inform by telex the exact Nimexe Codes applied in 1976, 1977 and 1978 to woven waisted jackets (blousons) not water-proofed. There is no complete alignment between the French and English words "blousons" and "windcheaters".

Hong Kong

Consultations were to be held with Hong Kong on 24.7.78 to solve classification

problems.

Exit from the Basket

Due to lack of time this question could not be treated. It was expected to be discussed in the 113 Committee meeting of the following day, since it was one

of the items on their agenda.

As to the UK questions about Malta and the monitoring of Mediterranean countries, it was also decided to treat these matters in the 113 Committee,

for the same reason.

THE NEXT MEETING WAS FIXED FOR 25.7.1978
