MIFT: FOLLOWING IS TEXT OF PROPOSED SPEAKING NOTE FOR USE WITH

LI PENG

QUOTE

GLAD OF OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS GUANGDONG NUCLEAR POWER STATION

DURING RECENT VISIT BY PARTY GENERAL SECRETARY HU TO LONDON AND

PARIS. LI PENG SUGGESTED THAT UK AND FRENCH GOVERNMENTS SHOULD

HELP REASSURE HK PUBLIC OPINION. WE SHALL DO ALL WE CAN. BUT THE

PROJECT IS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY PRC AND IT WILL IN OUR VIEW BE

ESSENTIAL IF PUBLIC OPINION IS IN FACT TO BE REASSURED THAT THE

PRC ITSELF SHOULD TAKE EFFECTIVE AND EARLY MEASURES TO SHOW IN

PUBLIC THAT THEY WILL PUT LI PENG'S WORDS TO THE JVC QUALITY

AND SAFETY FIRST INTO ACTION.

-

TO GIVE EARLY REASSURANCE TO HK PUBLIC OPINION, EDF HAVE AGREED

TO SEND A SENIOR TEAM TO HONG KONG (PROBABLY IN THE PERIOD 9-11 JULY) TO GIVE A PRESENTATION TO MEMBERS OF THE HONG KONG

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OPEN SQUARE BRACKETS WITH JOURNALISTS
