YOUR TELNO 1720: IRO SUB-GROUP: MULTILATERAL TREATIES:
CONSERVATION
1 WE APOLOGISE FOR HOLDING MATTERS UP ON THE REMAINING TWO
CONSERVATION TREATIES.
·
2.
ON THE PLANT PROTECTION AGREEMENT PAPER (YOUR TELNO 1072) WE HAVE ONE COMMENT: PARA 4 MIGHT REQUIRE A LITTLE CLARIFICATION. ODA HAVE INFORMED US THAT HONG KONG HAS NOT ATTENDED ALL THE MEETINGS SINCE 1969. FOR EXAMPLE, THE 14TH MEETING IN JAKARTA IN 1985 WAS ATTENDED BY AN ODA OFFICIAL. THE LAST SENTENCE OF YOUR PARA 4 THEREFORE READS A LITTLE ODDLY. THE PAPER SEEMS
OTHERWISE FINE.
WE WILL TELEGRAPH SEPARATELY TOMORROW ON THE WHALING PAPER (YOUR TELNO 1311) ON WHICH MATTERS ARE SOMEWHAT MORE
COMPLICATED.
