BILATERAL PACTS
Proposal By Six (N Z .P. A . - Reuter—Cop vrtpht) BRUSSELS. June 21. The six Common Market nations have proposed that comprehensive bilateral agreements should be signed before the end of 1966 by the enlarged community (including Britain) with India, Pakistan and Ceylon, to safeguard the trade of those countries. The six proposed that they should make a declaration of willingness to reach such agreements before Britain's entry and also give an undertaking that negotiations with India, Pakistan and Ceylon should open immediately Britain joined. The proposal also contains suggestions for special transitional arrangements, lasting in principle until 1970, which would be incorporated in the bilateral agreements if these were signed earlier The Six have proposed that, in the transitional period, the community's common external tariff on cotton textile goods would be gradually applied by Britain on the lines suggested by the British delegation. This would entail a 30 per cent, application of the common external tariff by Britain on entry into the EEC. The common external tariff would be completely applied by 1970.
