U S European Common Market Tariff Cuts Reported
Washington reports an agreement between the United States and the European Common Market to cut tariffs up to 20 percent on many industrial goods. The pact, likely near signing, centers on preserving farm products and clearing the agriculture hurdle after 15 months of talks. The authority would use Kennedy’s trade program powers from the 1958 act to implement the reductions. State Department officials commented on the process.
