also wish to ensure that the interests of industry and

is developing for the harmonization of European standards. Both Government and BT will keep the position in the 'T' Commission under review.

Government is likely to have a particular interest in organisational, constitutional, political and administrative and regulatory questions. The Government will also wish

Plenary meetings. In that case Mercury will participate as part of the UK delegation.

Any request by Mercury to join the UK delegation at particular CEPT meetings below the Plenary level will be considered by Government on an ad hoc basis Following discussion with BT and Mercury and consideration or Mercury's position with other CEPT members.
