Hong Kong and the EEC
During his recent visit to Hong Kong Mr. Rippon
Hong
agreed that we should arrange consultations with Hong
Kong towards the end of November. In our telegram
No.722 we suggested the middle of November.
Kong replied (telegram No.749) that any time from
9 November would suit them but suggested that, as
Sir David Trench would like to take part, the precise
date should be fixed with him.
Recommendation
2. I recommend that Mr. Rippon be invited to open
the consultations on 23 November (I understand he will
be free that morning) and that we should set aside
three days for the talks. A telegram to Hong Kong is
attached. This has been cleared with European
Integration Department, Trade Policy Department,
Commodities Department anf Financial Policy & Aid
Department in the FCO and with the Department of Trade
and Industry and the Treasury.
