the EEC negotiators. These
were based on some customs
concessions for a limited list
of Israeli exports — bathing
suits, grapefruit and fertilizers.
The Israeli negotiators were
understood to be giving inten-
sive study to the narrow and
limited EEC proposals to avoid
any reaction from the EEC com-
mission that Israel had not
fully considered the proposals.
Seliger stressed again that
the proposals were not final and
that if Israel requested lib-
eralization a scheduled higher
imports planned by the Eur-
opean market, the EEC would
consider them "thoroughly and
immediately." He also reiterated
that while the EEC commission
offers were admittedly meager,
Israel should take into account
the goodwill shown by•the EEC
which he said was of no lesser
importance than the commer-
cial benefits.
He also said again that Is-
rael's hopes for a more perma-
nent agreement were imprac-
ticable "under present •circum-
stances" and that the EEC
commission's proposals for a
limited commercial agreement
was the "only solution" possible
