“Safeguards cannot be spelt out”
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright • LONDON, July 16. Common Market safeguards for Australia and New Zealand cannot be spelt out more explicitly before Britain’s entry, the “Economist” reported today. Quoting unnamed British negotiators, the “Economist” said there was no hope of further explanation despite the safeguards clause being a crucial matter for the two countries. In an article called “Time To Bury the 800-
merang,” the magazine said the impact of lost British guarantees on Australia’s economy as a whole would be negligible. It said butter-producing communities in Victoria and New South Wales, Tasmanian apple and pear growers and Queensland sugar farmers would feel a severe impact only if Britain was too slow to invoke the safeguard clause after 1973. Britain, should she enter, would become a veto-wield-ing member in 1973, said the “Economist.”
