§ 92. Mr. David Watkinsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what immediate disadvantages he expects to accrue to Japanese exporters to the United Kingdom arising from the signing of the Treaty of Accession to the Treaty of Rome.
§ Mr. NobleThe signing of the Treaty of Accession does no more than commit the United Kingdom to adopt the negotiated terms of entry over a period commencing 1st January, 1973; however, once the United Kingdom has entered the E.E.C., the balance of advantage or disadvantage will depend on the outcome of negotiations between the Commission and Japan for a Common Community 253W Treaty to replace existing bilateral commercial arrangements.
