DRAFT REORGANIZED CHINA SPECIAL LIST
References: Documents CH Sub-C(53)5; CH/125;?CH/13$;
CH/141.
Attached is a draft reorganization of the China Special List,
intended to bring the form of the List into closer correspondence
with the form of the International Lists.
Thi.: principle of such a reorganization was agreed by the Commit-
tee on June 29, 1953 (Document CH/138), after which the matter was
referred to the Sub-Committee on Lists for examination. This re-
sulted in the suggestions contained in the Sub-Committee's report
(Doc. CH Sub-C(53)5) and in the attached working draft, based on the
contents of the List being issued as Document CH/125.
After considering the draft on July 2, 1953, the Committee
thought it desirable that it should be examined in the capitals be-
fore adoption. Therefore, it was concluded (Document CH/141), that
the working draft be referred for such examination and that, in the
meantime, the List as set out in Document CH/125 should be issued now
subject to later reorganization.
Accordingly, Document CH/125 is being issued separately and the
working draft is attached hereto for examination and subsequent dis-
cussion in the Committee.
This draft is being issued only in the English text, but in its
final form it is planned to incorporate also the French definitions.
