COORDINATING COitIMITTEE
RECORD OF STATEMENT BY THE ITALIAN DELEGATION
ON
PROPOSED ITALIAN EXPORT OF BORON PRODUCTS TO
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
25th July, 1960
Present: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Turkey, United
Kingdom, United States.
References: COCOM 3232, 4042 and 4084.
The Delegate introduced his Delegation's Memorandum (COCOM Document
4084) in which an earlier request to export 500 tons of boric acid to Czechos-
lovakia contained in COCOM Document 3232 was re-submitted for the consideration
of the Committee. The Delegate pointed out that this request was almost iden-
tical to a subsequent United Kingdom case which had received approval from the
majority of delegations (COCOM 4042). He explained that this export would take
place within the framework of a Trade Agreement between Italy and Czechoslovakia,
under whose terms Italian imports of finished products including boron would
amount to 4t 4,000,000. Moreover the quantity of finished products containing
boron to be imported by Italy would account for a quantity much greater than
the boric acid proposed for export (enamel, glassware, etc.). In conclusion
the Delegate asked the Committee to set an early date for the views of Member
Governments.
