OBJET: EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT QUESTION NO. 0-22'33 BY MRS. PRUVOT
ON CONDITIONS OF THE VIETNAMESE BOAT-PEOPLE IN HONGKONG''
REF.: CPE/MUL ETR 2059
THE NETHERLANDS THANKS THE PRESIDENCY FOR THE ELEMENTS SUGGESTED. HOWEVER, IT WISHES TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
1. IN DRAFT REPLY NO REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FIRST QUESTION POSED. ACCORDING TO OUR INFORMATION, AS FROM 2 JULY 1982 NEWLY ARRIVED VIETNAMESE BOAT-PEOPLE IN HONGKONG ARE HELD IN CLOSED CAMPS (LIKE CHI MA WAN) WHERE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE, UNTIL THEIR RESETTLEMENT TO A THIRD COUNTRY CAN BE REALIZED. REFERENCE TO THIS PRACTICE SHOULD BE MADE IN THE DRAFT REPLY.
2. THE FOURTH ELEMENT IN THE DRAFT REPLY MIGHT IMPLY ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL AND MATERIAL ASSISTANCE. HOWEVER THE NETHERLANDS IS AT PRESENT HARDLY IN A POSITION TO INCREASE ITS FINANCIAL AND MATERIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE BENEFIT OF REFUGEES FROM SOUTH EAST ASIA. WE THEREFOR SUGGEST THE DELETION OF THE WORDS: WILL GIVE INCREASING ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM AND'', WHILE BEFORE THE WORD 'SOLUTION'' THE WORD POLITICAL' SHOULD BE INSERTED.
