"ON OUR REQUEST THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT SENT A DELEGATION HONG KONG FOR CONSULTATIONS HELD ON JULY 26, 1994. AT THE MEETING REITERATED THE DIFFICULTIES WE HAVE WITH THE NEW MEXICAN REQUIREMENTS, AND ASKED FOR THEIR IMPLEMENTATION TO BE DEFERRED UNTIL THE TWO SIDES REACH A SOLUTION.

"IN

SUBSEQUENT CORRESPONDENCE THE MEXICANS ADVISED THAT THRY WOULD BE PUBLISHING MODIFICATIONS TO THE REQUIREMENTS. BUT THEY DID NOT SAY WHETHER THEY AGREE TO DEFER THE IMPLEMENTATION DATE," MR THOMAS YIU, DEPUTY DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF TRADE, SAID.

MR YIU FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT WHILE THE MODIFICATIONS HAD YET TO BE FORMALLY ANNOUNCED, THE MEXICANS HAD SUPPLIED SOME ADVANCE INFORMATION.

"BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, WE HAVE CONCLUDED THAT SOME OF THE MODIFICATIONS ARE UNCLEAR, AND THE REQUIREMENTS AS MODIFIED ARE STILL PROBLEMATIC.
