Although, unlike ISO, CORESTA does not decide on
inter-
national standards, sub-groups work on specific
technical
problems which can subsequently form the basis of
standards
put forward to ISO for consideration and formal
adoption.
Following the attack directed against Barclay (i)
at
the CORESTA meeting last year and (ii) in the
Swiss National
Standards Organisation earlier this year, it is
planned to
hold a pre-CORESTA meeting of key representatives
from ISO
countries in Europe in September since:
(a) some of the ISO representatives will mlso be
attending
the CORESTA Congress,
(b) it is vital to consider a number of strategies
in
relation to the ISO meetihg to be held in Paris in
Spring 1985.
This timing should provide a reasonable period in
which
to undertake any necessary further development of
proposals
and/or alternative strategies.
Key topics for discussion will include the
following.
(1) Consideration and development of a strategy in
relation
to the Kamm/Fine cigarett,.. holder.

(2) Consideration of the recent events and
problems in
South Africa in relation to the Bureau of
Standards
and how these might effect our strategy.
(3) In view of the continuing, and possibly much
wider
attacks which may follow events in different
countries,
it will be vital to try and ensure that the Block
vote of the Comecon Eastern Block will be used Jn
our
favour.
