JOHNATHAN BRAUDE: AT WHICH YOU SERVE RESIDENCY. NOW IN YOUR CASE, I MEAN FOR THE FRENCH CASE THIS APPEARS TO BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A RIGHT OF ABODE PACKAGE AND YOU DO
THE CHINESE HAVE HAVE TO GO TO FRANCE TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS.
BEEN ACQUIRED SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT RECOGNISE PASSPORTS THAT HAVE
ARE YOU SAYING THAT WITHOUT RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS BEING FULFILLED.
TO BRITISH AND FRENCH PASSPORTS ARE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO BE VALUABLE PEOPLE IN THIS WAY, AND IS THIS ACTUALLY THE SAME SCHEME THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT FROM THE FRENCH AND THE CANADIANS AND THE GERMANS?
SCHEMES
MR MAUDE: I HAVEN'T SAID, AT ANY STAGE, THAT ALL THESE
COUNTRIES ARE IDENTICAL. IT WOULD BE VERY REMARKABLE IF ALL OF THESE WERE, YES, ALONG SIMILAR LINES, WERE ATTEMPTING TO ACHIEVE THE SIMILAR KONG AIM OF GIVING PEOPLE AN ASSURANCE WITHOUT THE NEED TO LEAVE HONG TO OBTAIN IT. AND THAT'S THE BROAD EFFECT WHICH EACH SCHEME IS SEEKING
THE WITH TO ACHIEVE. BUT IT WOULD BE VERY ODD IF, SYSTEMS OF
NATIONALITY AND THE VERY DIFFERENT TYPES RULES WHICH EXIST IN ALL THESE COUNTRIES, EACH ONE CAME EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT THE BROAD EFFECT
VERY DIFFERENT OF IMMIGRATION OUT LOOKING
ACQUIRE THE STATES
JOHNATHAN BRAUDE: TO HAVE TO LEAVE HONG KONG TO PASSPORTS OF SINGAPORE, OF CANADA, OF AUSTRALIA, OF THE UNITED
IS
MR MAUDE: BUT IT'S THE RIGHT OF ENTRY, THE ASSURANCE THAT THERE GET BAD SOMEWHERE TO GO, AT SOME STAGE IN THE FUTURE, IF THINGS HERE. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR IN HONG KONG AND THAT'S TO ACHIEVE. WHAT ALL OF THESE SCHEMES IN THEIR DIFFERENT WAYS SEEK
VARIOUS SORTS ARE AND SO FAR AS THE VALUE OF THESE ASSURANCES OF CONCERNED, AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, THE JOINT DECLARATION ENTRENCHES THE RIGHT TO ENTER AND RETURN TO HONG KONG AFTER 1997. CHINA HAS SOLEMNLY DECLARATION, AND CONTINUOUSLY REAFFIRMED ITS COMMITMENT TO THE JOINT AND THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD PUT THEIR FAITH ON.
JOHN
AREN'T THESE SCHEMES THEN ELLIOTT (FINANCIAL TIMES): LIFEBOAT SCHEMES WHICH WILL ONLY OPERATE IN A TIME OF CRISIS?
MR MAUDE: NO, INDEED, I MEAN, THEY ARE SCHEMES LIKELY I SUSPEC TO BE SCHEMES WHICH GIVE THE RIGHT NOW WITH THE CAPABILITY OF IT PEING EXFPCISFF LATER.

.CONFIDENCE IN THE TERRITORY, IT PREUG TO HAVE INSPIRED AN AWFUL LOT OF CONFUSION, I MEAN
ALTOGETHER THIS MR MAUDE: WELL I MEAN THAT THE FACT IS THAT
I HAVEN'T BEEN ACTUALLY ADDS TO THE FACKAGE WHICH WE HAVE ANNOUNCED.
EXACTLY WHAT THE ABLE TO GAY ON BEHALF OF EVERY OTHER GOVERNMENT EFFRET UILL DE BECAUSE IT ISN'T ACTUALLY FOR THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO TOGETHER MAT ANNOUNCE DETAILS. ALL I HAVE SOUGHT TO DO IS TO FULL
UE CALL THE OVERALL EFFECT IS AND MIGHT BE IF IT ALL COMES TOGETHER.
BRING THESE CONTINUE TO WORK HARD WITH THESE OTHER GOVERNMENTS VARIOUS SCHEMES TO FRUITION, AND TO THE GREATER EXTENT WE SUCCEED, GREATER THE BENEFIT, AND THE GREATER THE BOOST TO CONFIDENCE IN KONG. I THINK THAT IS UNDERSTOOD HERE.
THANKS.
