    European News
    -------------

    A row has broken out within the EC following the breakdown of trade
    negotiations with the USA and the imposition by the USA of tarrifs
    against EC goods. The chief EC trade negotiator, Ray MacSharry, has
    resigned saying that the EC president, Jacques Delors, blocked any deal
    between the EC and the USA. Other sources say that M. Delors took the
    side of french farmers rather than the EC as a whole. The US negotiator
    has commented that one reason the talks broke down was because the EC
    could not agree within itself upon a position. She also said that the
    new tarrifs were the way for the US to receive compensation for loss of
    trade over recent years.

    A general election has been called in Ireland for later this month
    following the collapse yesterday of the coalition government.

    ----------

    Japan is to re-start loans to Viet-Nam for economic development which it
    stopped following the invasion of Cambodia. This is seen to indicate
    that Japan expects the USA to remove its boycott on economic aid.
