1975 of cars made by Chrysler, Ford and General Motors was imported from the EEC Six; it is estimated that about 21 per cent. of their output in the United Kingdom was exported to the EEC Six; between 1 and 2 per cent. of new registrations in the EEC Six of cars made by these firms was imported from the United Kingdom.
