NOTES FOR SUPPLEMENTARIES

HONG KONG EEC AND GENERALISED PREFERENCES

1.

As I explained in Hong Kong, I am convinced that, in

the Common Market, Hong Kong's interests and Britain's

interests will be complementary and not opposed, and

other In the negotiations for entry we fought hard for

Hong Kong's interests and we shall continue to represent

them after we become a full Member.

Agreement was reached that Hong Kong should be included

in the Community's Generalised Preference scheme and

Hong Kong has been benefiting from the scheme since it

came into force in mid-1971.

We shall continue to press for Hong Kong's inclusion

in the Generalised Preference Schemes of other donor

countries, notably those of America, Japan and Denmark.
