Finance Minister Levi Eshkol will head Israel’s delegation to Brussels next month, when negotiations will get underway on trade agreements between Israel and the six member nations of the European Common Market. The decision to name Mr. Eshkol as head of the Israel trade delegation was made yesterday by the Cabinet, which felt it important that the Israeli group be headed by a Cabinet minister at least at the initial stage. The negotiations are scheduled to begin November 19.
