Submission No. 135-Import Licensing of Japanese Goods [1]

Cabinet agreed in principle that a policy of 'limited
assimilation' should be adopted in relation to imports from Japan.

It noted that the Acting Minister for Trade and Customs proposed
to discuss the proposal with the Minister and also with the
Minister for Commerce and Agriculture and to submit to them the
list of goods which it was thought might be excluded from
'assimilation' for the present.

It noted further that consideration would be given the matter on
receipt of their views.
