ERNST TENTATIVELY SUGGESTED TODAY THAT, IN ADDITION TO
THE VISIT WITH DAHRENDORF ON 15 NOVEMBER, HE MIGHT RETURN
TO HONG KONG FROM JAPAN ON OR ABOUT 28 NOVEMBER FOR
DISCUSSIONS 'REGARDING HONG KONG IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
ENLARGEMENT NEGOTIATIONS''. HE SAID THAT A COMMUNITY BRIEF
ON HONG KONG FOR THE EEC NEGOTIATING TEAM HAD NOT YET BEEN
DRAWN UP AND HE HAD NOW BEEN ASKED TO ADVISE. THIS IS
SUPPORTED BY THE FACT THAT BEINHARDT, ONE OF ERNST'S STAFF,
ASKED DODGE YESTERDAY FOR MORE BASIC REFERENCE MATERIAL ON
HONG KONG FOR THE PREPARATION OF A FACTUAL BRIEF ON WHICH
RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE BASED.
