NEWS SPECIAL: BRITAIN IN THE EUROPEAN COMMON MARKET BRUSSELS (AP) (By Nel Slis) EXACTLY FOUR YEARS after her first unsaccessful bid for membership in the European Common Market, Britain returned to the European capital with renewed hopes.Bri- tain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson will try again to join the now solidified six-nation Mar- ket. Diplomats of France's partner countries here said President Charles de Gaulle is willing to negotiate. Some of them believe it is just a maneuver by de Gaulle on the eve of general elec- tions. Both France's industries and farmers would like to see the Market growing bigger. Others are more optimistic and believe negotiations may start before the end of this year. But all forecast "long, hard and realistic bargaining" if negotiations are to start. Few of them believe Britain could enter the Market much before 1970. Experts who went through the abortive negotiations with Britain in the early sixties said not only France but the other five partners will fight just as ferociously for national interests. Anyone familiar with decision-making by the six partners knows what a long, laborious and of- ten painful process reconciliation of the six interests can be. Last December, the Foreign Ministers of the six, at a council meeting here,,agreed to pool information on Wilson's round trip of European Common Market capitals. After stops in Rome and Paris, the six countries' diplomats here said "de Gaulle is willing to negotiate." Over the past weeks Wilson has repeatedly said Britain would accept the treaty of Rome. Each time he claimed clemency for British agriculture and asked protection for Commonwealth inter- eats. The six know Britain has been eating cheaply by subsidizing farmers and importing cheaply frm Commonwealth countries. Common Market experts have calculated that Britain, as a large importer, might have to con- tribute as much as 40 percent to the six's joint farm fund. The fund subsidizes exports. Everyone here agrees de Gaulle will not be prepared to make Britain's entry a walkover. Some diplomats here say there are few attractive alternatives for Britain aside from joining the Common Market. These diplomats say Britain no longer has Washington's ear and that elsewhere influence i waning too. Britain is one of mdhy European countries wanting to join the six. But entrance is getting (Continued on Page 3) GITMO GAZETTE TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1967 PAGE 3
