IN PRINCIPLE QUITE O.K. BUT HADDON-CAVE WILL BE AT THE
COMMONWEALTH FINANCE MINISTERS MEETING WHEN THE P.M. IS HERE: SO IF MR RIPPON COULD BEAR IT I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL IF
WE COULD MEET HIM FOR LUNCH OR A DRINK SO THAT HE COULD BRING US
UP TO DATE ON ARRANGEMENTS FOR ENTRY INTO EUROPE.
2. WHEN HADDON-CAVE IS IN LONDON FOR THE FINANCE MINISTERS' CONFERENCE IN SEPTEMBER I HOPE YOU AND THE D.T.I. WILL BE READY
AT THAT TIME TO RESUME THE DISCUSSIONS HE HAD WITH YOU ON 27 APRIL ON THE RELATED QUESTIONS OF:
(A) THE FUTURE OF HONG KONG'S NON-G.A.T.T. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE U.K. AFTER THE U.K.'S ENTRY IN TO E.E.C.:
B) REPRESENTATION OF HONG KONG'S POINT OF VIEW IN G.A. T.T. AND THE C.T.C. ONCE THE U.K. IS OBLIGED TO FOLLOW AN E.E.C.
PARTY LINE.
