EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS OUT OF THE QUESTION.
4.
FURTHER PREREQUISITES FOR PROGRESS ON ASA SEPARATION THAT EMERGED FROM HIDALGO IN DISCUSSION WERE THE GRANT OF ADDITIONAL PEAK-TIME SLOTS FOR WHICH PAL HAD RECENTLY BEEN TURNED DOWN, AND A REVIEW OF THE CAPACITY FORMULA AGREED IN THE MAY CMU. (IT TURNED OUT THAT THIS, RATHER THAN PROCEDURAL CONSIDERATIONS, LAY BEHIND THEIR REQUEST IN PARA. 1 OF TUR). GLASS SAID THAT WE HAD NO WISH TO REVIEW THE WORKINGS OF A FORMULA WHICH HAD ONLY RECENTLY BEEN AGREED AND WAS NOT DUE TO COME INTO OPERATION UNTIL NOVEMBER. NOR WERE WE INVOLVED IN SLOT ALLOCATIONS, SO WE RECOMMENDED THAT PAL SHOULD INSTEAD TAKE THESE UP WITH THE SCHEDULE COORDINATOR (WHICH THEY LATER DID).
5. THERE BEING NO BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIVE DISCUSSION, THEREFORE, AN AGREED RECORD WAS SIGNED RECORDING SIMPLY THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN EXCHANGE OF VIEWS ON ASA SEPARATION AND THAT A FURTHER MEETING WOULD BE ARRANGED FOR OCTOBER, WHEN, WE WERE PRIVATELY ASSURED BY LIMLINGAN, HAVING GONE THROUGH THE MOTIONS ON BEHALF OF PAL AT THIS ROUND, THE PHILIPPINES SIDE WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE A MORE REALISTIC BRIEF TO FOLLOW. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THEY HAD NO DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ASA TEXT AS IT WAS MUCH THE SAME AS THE HONG KONG/MALAYSIA
ASA.
