HONG KONG AND THE EEC'S GSP: RECORD OF MR ROYLE'S MEETING ON 28 SEPTEMBER
Page 4:
I suggest that in place of "use special pleading" in your i) about the middle of the page you should write "we could argue". It is not special pleading that some of Hong Kong's main competitors have got concessions on textiles since our 1971 agreement. It is a valid argument and it is true.
