Mr. James CallaghanThe Council agreed in January that the exceptional financial aid for Portugal, approved by the Council in October 1975, should be supplemented by a financial protocol to the EEC-Portugal Free Trade Agreement. The type of protocol, its duration and details will be determined in negotiations between the Community and Portugal.
