But we cannot grant Privileges and Immunities to
the Commission Office under our Consular Relations
Ordinance (Cap 259).
That Ordinance is designed
to give effect to the Vienna Convention on Consular
Relations. We are therefore unable to grant
Privileges and Immunities under this particular
Ordinance to bodies other than consular missions of
States.

office on a more stable basis bafora 1997, and
would make every effort to ensure Chinese agreement

guarantee the continuation of such privileges and
immmunities beyond 30 June 1997.

What we must do now is to reach agreement as soOD
as possible on a list of Privileges and Immunities
which the Hong Kong Government can grant to the
Commission office. Our officials should now get
together to agree these details.
