1. THE DANISH PRIME MINISTER'S SPEECH WAS NOT COVERED BY THE LOCALS PRESS HERE, PERHAPS BECAUSE HE SPOKE IN HIS NATIVE TONGUE AND NO ENGLISH (OR CHINESE) LANGUAGE VERSION WAS MADE AVAILABLE.
2. THE SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST HOWEVER DID PRINT A PHOTOGRAPH OF MR SCHLUTER OPENING UNIBANK'S HONG KONG BRANCH WITH A CAPTION WHICH SAID ... MR SCHLUTER TOLD A DANISH BUSINESS CLUB LUNCH THAT DENMARK WOULD ISSUE WORK AND RESIDENCY PERMITS TO ABOUT 100 LOCAL EMPLOYEES OF DANISH FIRMS'. WE ASSUME SCMP HAD THIS FROM ONE OF THE AUDIENCE.
3. NO COPIES OF MR SCHLUTER'S SPEECH WERE LEFT WITH THE DANISH CONSULATE-GENERAL HERE.
