RAWALPINDI: Pakistan is expected to give its reaction on the proposed British entry into the Common Market in an aide memoire within the next few days [May 11]. Of ficial sources said that the aide memoire is now being prepared by the Ministry of Commerce. It is expected in the Foreign Office soon for delivery to the British High Commissioner in Pakistan. The Foreign Office, it is understood, has already given its advice on the subject to the Ministry of Commerce.

The Note, now being draf ted, will include the `general reaction and concern` of the Government of Pakistan on the British move. A commodity-to-commodity analysis of the effect of the entry and resulting tariff barriers will not be undertaken at this stage. The aide memoire is also understood to deal with the question of future status of Pakistani immigrants in the United Kingdom.

On the right of one million Commonwealth immigrants to seek jobs in other Common Market countries, the British Prime Minister Mr Harold Wilson said on Tuesday, the immigrants who had been in Britain long enough to take up the British citizenship would be allowed to move freely to other jobs in the E.C.M countries but not those without this citizenship. This may create a new situation for Pakistanis in U.K. who now number between one and one and a half lakh. Workers may start moving into U.K. from the comparatively depressed European nations.

Mr Wilson also had reiterated broad British acceptance of the rule which provides high tariff barriers against import of agricultural products from outside the Six. Britain, it seems, will not try to modify the present E.C.M policy towards agricultural imports.
