CONTRACT

(Mr Antonenko, engineer of Ukrexport, is having talks in Kyiv with Mr Brake of British Manganese Ltd. The British company is a regular importer of manganese from Ukraine and has often dealt with the Ukrainian trading organization. Mr Brake has been instructed by his firm to sign another contract for manganese.)

Brake Good afternoon! Nice to see you again, Mr Antonenko! You are looking well, I must say. How are things with you?

Antonenko Not bad, thank you. And how are you?

Broke Fine, just fine. I always feel well in beautiful weather like this. We're having such a lot of rain in England now. I am happy to be away. Well, I suppose we had better get down to business.

Antonenko Yes, certainly. You have come to sign another contract, haven't you?

Broke That's right. For next year, actually.

Antonenko Are you happy with our usual terms of delivery and payment?

Brake Yes, quite. As a matter of fact, I've come here to talk about the price. I'd like to say that the volume of business on steel production in our country has dropped considerably. This affected the prices of a number of materials. In this situation it's quite natural we expect you to revise your prices for manganese.

Antonenko I'm afraid this is not a sufficient reason for us to lower the price.

Brake But may I draw your attention to the fact that we wish to increase the purchases by a few thousand tons if you could offer us reduction in the price.

Antonenko I'm sorry to say, Mr Brake, but we could not be able to make extra supplies available to you. We are planning to develop more industrial and housing projects. Besides, we're already tied up to contracts with other partners. Taking these factors into account, we could offer you the same amount as last year.

Brake Mr Antonenko, we've been in business with you for a long time. Also we've doubled our purchases over the past two years. Therefore we would be grateful to you if, in view of all this, you could reduce the price.

Antonenko All right. I think we could reduce it by 2%. But only on condition that the price is subject tofurther negotiations for the second half of the year.

Brake That's fine. I suppose that's the best we can do today.
