1. REGARDING CUSTOMS PAPERS ON ITEMS 3.6, 3.7, 3.12 AND 3.13, WE HAVE SO FAR ONLY GOT COPIES OF UK'S DECLARATIONS (I.E. ANNEX B TO THE PAPERS) IN RESPECT OF ITEMS 3.8, 3.12 AND 3.13. WE STILL NEED COPIES OF U K'S DECLARATION IN RESPECT OF ITEM 3.6 AND OF U K'S INSTRUMENT OF RATIFICATION (I.E. ANNEX A TO THE PAPERS) IN RESPECT OF ALL FOUR ITEMS. GRATEFUL IF UKMIS NEW YORK COULD DISPATCH THEM URGENTLY TO US DIRECT. IF THEY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY, WE WILL NEED TO CONSIDER WHETHER WE SHOULD HAND OVER PAPERS WITHOUT ANNEXES. OF COURSE, WE WOULD PREFER TO TRY TO AVOID THIS IF POSSIBLE.
