IN CONFIDENCE
D) Long term
Continue broadly as at present. Consider in due course possibility of making additional sof pan funds available for China (once progress has been made in implementing projects under existing £300 million facility).

Comment on use of resources
Chine takes a larger share of BOTB resources per £ of export than virtually any other market. This is partly because it is a "difficult" market in which exporters perhaps need more advice and financial support than in other markets, and where a relatively high degree of Government involvement is inevitable. It is also a market in which a long term view needs to be taken.
