REPRESENTATION OF THE PRESIDENCY IN THIRD COUNTRIES:

Thank you for your letter of 16 April.

HONG KONG

attached to (1f)

Having consulted my authorities, I should like to suggest the following additions to Council Document 10760/81:

(i) Annex I: p.3. Insert an asterisk opposite Hong Kong,

refering to a footnote in the following terms "Dependent territory of the United Kingdom".

(ii) Annex II: p.3. Insert a new asterisk opposite Hong

Kong, referring to a footnote in the following terms "Dependent territory of the United Kingdom"

and amend what is now the second footnote on this

page to read:

"British Trade Commission:

functions only".

has trade promotion

The layout of the various asterisks and footnotes on this page would also need reorganising in an appropriate

way.

I should be grateful if you would let me know if these suggestions are acceptable.

Your sing

sirendly
