Secretariat for information. We are doubtful however whether
this would be wise. The Chinese are likely to take exception
to such a procedure, and it could well prejudice any chances of getting them to agree to joint registration. It could
lead them to make a point of making public in an
aggressive way their view that the Memoranda are not part of the agreement. This would not be helpful. Our feeling is
that the status of the Memoranda has now been adequately
explained in Hong Kong, and that not registering them at the UN is unlikely to cause great surprise.
