3. Since exchange difficulties persist , imports of antimony metal should be allowed into the country after taking into consideration the quanturn of indigenous production .
4 Until such time as the full requirements of the indigenous industry are met from Chitral oro , such ore should be allowed to be import- ed as a special case in order to enable the industry to step up its production and meet in full , the demand of the country.
