The draft leaves unanswered the question of the transition arrangements
from quotas to tariffs, about which I minuted on 8 March. As I hope we can get
agreement on this issue the one to which Hong Kong almost certainly attaches
greatest importance in the next day or two, we can cover it in the despatch.
We discussed this morning your minute of 11 March regarding the temporary
extension of duty-free treatment after the end of this year.
If necessary,.
this point can be left for separate discussion while we settle the question of
quota enforcement.
