(ii) Mír 10.

Tairgeadh leasú (An Teachta Esmonde):

“At the end of the paragraph to add the following sub-paragraph:—

‘It may be that Ireland has a particular interest in ensuring that beneficiary countries are selected solely by reference to acceptable economic criteria. It can scarcely be contested that because of her underdeveloped economy Ireland has a far greater need of foreign investment than other Community countries without which there would be needed by Ireland from the EEC far greater regional, social and other subventions. It would be unfair if the advantages enjoyed under the generalised tariff preference scheme by the more developed of the beneficiary countries made it more difficult for Ireland to attract badly needed investment. The Joint Committee suggests that this aspect of the matter be examined by the appropriate authorities here.’”

Aontaíodh an leasú.

Aontaíodh an mhír mar a leasaíodh.

(iii) Aontaíodh míreanna 11 go 13 go huile.
