At the same tine the Declaration of Intention stated the willingness of the member states of EEC to consider agreements with countries whose economic structures were similar to those of the Associated states. At present Nigeria, Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda have responded to the 'Declaration' and have held exploratory talks with the EEC Commission in Brussels.
