YQ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, August 7, 1708 TARIFF-CUTTING Canada To Make Offers By DON: HANRIGHT + OTTAWA (CP) -- The Cana- dian government has vjrtually completed its hearings of indus- try's views and stands ready to make its initial tariff-cutting'of- fers in Geneva.on Nov, 16 to 'start the Kennedy round of mul- tilateral bargaining. However, the date--already once set back because of the U.S. elections--may again be postponed unless there is some break within the next few weeks in the continuing deadlock be- 'tween the United States and the 'European Common Market over agriculture. : The Americans have said bluntly that unless the Common Market softens its, views on ag- ricultural protectionism by Sep- tember or October, the U.S. may not be prepared to table on Nov, 16 its exception' to the proposed 50-per-cent linear cut in tariffs. Sources here say Canada's) position is much the same. There seems to be only scant hope in Ottawa that the farm issue will be eased, let alone Is Ready full Canadian negotiating team does not plan to be in Geneva until January, though some members of it will be there next month. | MET LAST MAY | Last May, a year after their first meeting, ministers of the) 58 nations in. the General Agiee-| ment on Tariffs and Trade| agreed to the principle of the late President -Kennedy's idea that since the scope for item- by-item tariff bargaining was narrow, they should seek in- stead a 50-per-cent cut across the board. Canada, Australia, New Zea- land and South Africa said they couldn't make such linear cuts because of their economies; GATT agreed. The result is that the heavily industrialized coun- tries alone will strive for the linear cuts, with others nego- tiating more selectively for "a |balance of advantages." One major problem was solved in May: That of "dis- parities," or the basic unfair- ness of making equal cuts in unequal tariffs. ' solved, by Noy, 16. In.fact, the of the industrialized nations now can claim a disparity, and thus make a cut less than 50 per cent, if on 'the same commodity its existing tariff now is half or less that of another country, and if there is a spread between the. tariffs of 10 . percentage points or more. CAN WITHHOLD CUTS One vital provision is that any country can withhold from the linear cutting its tariffs on certain commodities, on the grounds of overriding national interest--which must be proved to the satisfaction of the other negotiators. These are the exceptions due to be tabled on Nov. 16 hy the countries making linear cuts. Against a backdrop of high farm protectionism in Europe, the Common Market says in ef- fect that it fs the amount of price support for farm com- modities that should be nego- tiated. One aim is a world price for each commodity, just as there now is a world price for wheat. The Canadian view, which parallels that of the U.S., is that this would mean: freezing farm supports at the present levels; it would be a move to regulate world trade in farm produce, instead of freeing trade--the object of the Ken nedy round.
