only exception may be Yan Tian but it is still not

clear whether they would have the necessary back-up

services to seriously compete with Hong Kong in the

near future.

(d) Strong interest was expressed on the proposed River.

Trade Terminal in Tuen Mun Area 38, and the

Guangdong Provincial Planning Commission

representatives hinted that they would coordinate

the bid for the site but wished it could be granted

on a low premium basis.

(e)

There was repeated calls from the Planning

Commissions that the future planning and development

of Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, whether in

transport, port or industry,

or industry, should be done in a

more coordinated and integrated manner. A strong

hint was made by the Guangdong Provincial Planning

Commission that a more structured and regular forum,

for example a joint planning committee, would be

useful for both sides to share information and

undertake long term plans. (No commitment was given

by the PELB delegation on this point.)
