I am aware that Britain, in the course of negotiations with the EEC, has submitted proposals for modification of the draft Regulations of the EEC Commission on dairy produce and beef and that it has been reported that Denmark also intends to submit memoranda on these subjects. Officials of my Department have already had discussions with the Commission on these proposals, which are in general satisfactory to us, and it is not proposed to submit a formal memorandum at the present stage.
