1.
DETAIL
2.
MY CHINESE COLLEAGUE IN BRUSSELS IS THE SAME AS DAVID
HANNAY'S. BY THE TIME I CALLED ON AMBASSADOR LIU THIS AFTERNOON HE
HAD RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS AND THE SPEAKING NOTE WHICH HE INTENDS TO
LEAVE ON COMMISSIONER DECLERO IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE I HAVE PREPARED FOLLOWING PARAGRPHS 1-7 OF YOUR TELNO 170 TO CANBERRA. BUT
LIU HAS NOT RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE A SIMILAR DEMARCHE TO THE BELGIAN OR LUXEMBOURG GOVERNMENTS, TO WHOM HE IS ALSO ACCREDITED: ONLY TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS IF ASKED.
3.
LIU APPEARED TO THINK THAT ALL GATT MATTERS WERE HANDLED BY
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION ON BEHALF OF THE MEMBER STATES. WHEN I HAD
EXPLAINED TO HIM WHY WE INTENDED TO MAKE APPROACHES AT POLITICAL
LEVEL TO ALL CONTRACTING PARTIES, LIU SAID HE WOULD SEEK INSTRUCTIONS. I SAID I WOULD ACCORDINGLY WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS
BEFORE SEEKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH MR TINDEMANS.
