DTP FOR IAD
MIPT: HONG KONG/INDONESIA ASA: EXPLANATION OF DIFFERENCES
BEGINS
'THE DRAFT HONG KONG/INDONESIA AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT CLOSELY FOLLOWS THE TEXTS OF OTHER DRAFT HONG KONG AIR SERVICES AGREEMENTS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO THE CHINESE SIDE. THERE IS ONLY ONE MINOR DIFFERENCE WHERE SOME EXPLANATION MAY BE HELPFUL TO THE CHINESE SIDE IN THEIR CONSIDERATION OF THE TEXT.
ARTICLE 10: DIRECT TRANSIT TRAFFIC
THE SECOND SENTENCE WAS ADDED AT THE INDONESIANS' REQUEST FOR REASSURANCE THAT PASSENGERS, BAGGAGE AND CARGO IN DIRECT TRANSIT WOULD NOT UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES BE SUBJECT TO UNDULY CUMBERSOME IMMIGRATION CONTROL AND CUSTOMS CLEARANCE PROCEDURES. THE UK SIDE SAW NO DIFFICULTY WITH THE ADDITIONAL WORDING AS IT COINCIDED WITH THE CURRENT PRACTICE.'
