میر
WE HAVE TO-DAY FAXED TO BUNTEN HKD FOUR DRAFT PAPERS ON TRANSPORT (ROAD AND RAIL) AND SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, CORRESPONDING TO ITEMS 21.3, 18.5, 18.6 AND 18.7 ON OUR LIST OF MULTILATERAL TREATIES. GRATEFUL FOR COMMENTS.
2.
WE HAVE NOT DRAFTED A PAPER ON ITEM 18.3, CONVENTION OF THE WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANISATION, AS HONG KONG'S CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP OF THE WMO HAS ALREADY BEEN AGREED IN THE JLG. WE ARE PREPARING A SINGLE PAPER COVERING ALL THE TREATIES CONSTITUTING ORGANISATIONS SO FAR AGREED. WE SHALL SAY TO THE CHINESE THAT THE ONLY REASON WE ARE PURSUING THIS MATTER AGAIN IS TO NOTE THAT THESE TREATIES WILL HAVE TO APPEAR ON THE LIST OF MULTILATERALS WHICH WILL BE ANNEXED TO WHATEVER INSTRUMENT WE EVENTUALLY AGREE FOR ENSURING THEIR CONTINUED APPLICATION AFTER 1997.
3.
WE ARE STILL WORKING ON ITEM 18.4, CONVENTION ON THIRD PARTY LIABILITY IN THE FIELD OF NUCLEAR ENERGY, AND CONSIDERING ITS RELEVANT, IN PARTICULAR, TO OUR INVOLVEMENT IN DAYA BAY. WE SHALL PASS YOU THE DRAFT PAPER A.S.A.P.
4. WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ANNEX B TO EACH PAPER FROM OUR RESOURCES HERE BUT WILL LET YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE DIFFICULTY.
