Meir, Israel's foreign minister, in-
dicated that Israel still hopes to
secure an associate membership in
the European Economic Commu-
nity, in addition to the trade agree-
ment that was signed here.
She was asked at a press con-
ference, which followed her par-
ticipation in the signing ceremo-
nies, why Israel had won only a
trade agreement and replied that
"it is not a closed case."
She said Israel's initial purpose
