American farmers check
European trade potential
BRUSSELS, Belgium - A
delegation of 12 American
farmers headed by
American Farm Bureau
president, Allan Grant, has
just concluded visits with EC
representatives on freer
trade for agricultural
commodities. Of major
concern to both the EC and
the United States are the
General Agreement on
Trade and Tariff (GATT)
negotiations which are to
resume this year in Geneva.
“After a year of discussing
procedures for the talks,”
said Grant, “the EC is ready
to discuss agriculture and
ways and means to minimize
trade barriers.”
Some 90 nations are
involved in the GATT talks,
the goal of which is to
promote freer exchange of
goods and services in the
world market by reducing
tariff and nontariff barriers.
The talks are important to
American fanners because
of more than $22 billion
worth of farm products the
United Staes exported in
1975, of which $l5 billion
worth were confronted with
some form of trade barriers
or restrictions.
“We have found that they
are determined to get
something moving in the
GATT negotiations this

year,” said Grant. “We’ve
been stalled for a year.
We’ve met with them and
their philosophies are
different from ours. They
have a regulated economy
with prices on commodities
set at some fictitious level
which has nothing to do with
the market and we have to
compete with those
commodities if they are
subsidized in their export
from the European
Community.
“We’ve told them under no
uncertain terms that we
could compete with farmers
anywhere in the world but
not with subsidized products.
They understand this and
Robert Strauss, the U.S.
Representative to the GATT
talks, and the EC’s Olav
Gundelach are determined
to make some progress
during 1977.
I “Solving the problem isn’t
going to be easy,” continued
the AFBF president,
“because many countries
want a separate set of
standards for agricultural
goods, while the United
States is bargaining for
equal footing for both
agriculture and industry.
This is important to all
Americans because the
agricultural community
provides more than $22
nil 2. 1977
billion worth of agricultural
commodities for export and
that helps pay for foreign
oil.”
The purpose of the-10-day
series of conferences with'
EC leaders is to pave the
way toward mutually
beneficial trade policies
between the U.S. and the
European Community.' The
group hopes its meetings will
lead to the reduction of trade
restrictions and barriers,
especially the variable
unport levies now imposed
by the EC which hamper the
free flow of agricultural
commodities exported by the
United States.
