Article 18 of the Agreement of 11 May 1975 between the European Economic
Community and the State of Israel requires the Joint Committee to take
decisions or make   recommendations with a view to implementing cooperation
measures to :
  promote trade between the Community and Israel ;
  encourage private investment ; ^ ~
  facilitate the transfer of technoligical knowhow and also contacts and
  cooperation between the industries of the Community and Israel ;
  permit the sharing by Israel in certain ventures of scientific and
  technological cooperation or in the results of certain such ventures .
On the occasion of the visits by Mr Ortoli to Israel in March 1976 , and by
Israel 's Minister for Commerce and Industry , Mr Bar-Lev, on 27 April 1976 ,
the Israeli authorities put forward a number of suggestions for the
implementation of Article 18 • These suggestions were circulated within
the Joint Committee under reference CES-ISR Nos . 2/76 , 3/76 and 4/76 and are
to be discussed by the committee at its first meeting in order to permit the
Israeli authorities to give more details concerning their position on this
subject .
Obviously , however , the Joint Committe could not adopt decisions or reeommendatioi
in this connection before Israel * s suggestions and , in general , the possible
means of implementing them had been examined thoroughly .
It would therefore appear appropriate from the procedural standpoint for the
Joint Committee to agree to set tip two "working parties" with the job of
examining ways and means of establishing cooperation in the industrial and
trade sectors .

This is the purpose of the accompanying draft Joint Committee decisions , to
which are annexed the terms of reference for the working parties in question.
As regards contacts and cooperation "between industries , however , the Joint
Committee could recommend forthwith that the Community and the State of Israel
adopt measures to enable this objective to be attained *
