§ 38. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received on behalf of the Canadian paper industry with regard to its position after British entry into the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. NobleThe Canadian Government and paper industry have represented both to us and to the present members of the EEC their concern at the prospect of losing their present parity of access with the non-candidate members of EFTA to the United Kingdom market in respect of paper products. Preservation of this parity of access would require a derogation from the terms of the Treaty of Accession.
