(j) SAR/SARG

Throughout the BL there are

numerous references to the

"HKSAR" and the "Government

of the HKSAR". In certain

articles it is unclear what

the underlying principles

for deciding which of these

two expressions, which can

have very different

meanings, should be used.

(B) Economy

(a) Art. 106 :

(i)

(ii)

It undermines SARG's

autonomy in financial

and fiscal matters

promised in JD 79.

SARG liable to

interminable

litigation in courts.

In order to ensure consistency and clarity, the usage of these two expressions in the

BL should be further examined.

"With reference to the policy of balancing expenditure and revenues over a period of years and of relating the growth of expenditure to the growth of the gross domestic product as previously practised in

HK, the HKSAR shall on its own deal with financial matters, including disposing of its financial resources and drawing up its budgets and its final accounts.
