N.Z.’s call in Kyoto
NZPA staff correspondent Kyoto New Zealand delegates called for the Japanese to support openly the freeingup of agricultural trade within the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs at a meeting in Kyoto yesterday. Mr Brian Tolley, of Tolley Holdings, called for genuine moves by Japan on market opening. “There is obviously considerable scope for Japan to play a greater role in promoting agricultural trade liberalisation,” Mr Tolley said on the final day of the Japan-New Zealand Busi- > ness Council meeting. “New Zealand would like to suggest the concept of marginal adjustment is worth considering,” he said. “A step by step adjustment would be positive and perhaps politically acceptable.” But Mr Tsuguio Ibayashi, a top economist for the Keidanren, an industry association representing top exporting businesses, held out little prospect for early change in the Japanese political structure which results in the continuing protection of inefficient domestic agriculture. .
