REGISTRATION OF THE HONG KONG/NETHERLANDS ASA
1.
During our telephone conversation this afternoon and in the light of legal advice from Joanne Foakes you undertook to consider the ways in which we might register the Hong Kong/Netherlands ASA at the United Nations.
2.
I enclose a copy of the ASA and the specific entrustment which were published together in Hong Kong as a special supplement to the Hong Kong Government Gazette once the ASA entered into force. Would an original of this document suffice for the purpose of Degistration at the UN?

Flease refer to your minute, above, and to Miss Foakes nute of 5 July about the registration with the UN of the Mr Service Agreements concluded with Hong Kong.
When registering an agreement with the United Nations the general practice is for a copy of the published Command Faper to be used with a simple certificate of true copy provided by AID united to the document with ribbon and seal. We are suggesting that this procedure is adopted for the registration of the Hong Kong 1.2. agreements, using a Hong Kong published version of the Agreement and entrustment (without the Chinese?) and uniting a certificate, the wording of which would need to be approved by Miss Foakes.
