UNCTAD LINER CODE : HONG KONG AND GIBRALTAR

1. I understand you recently queried with the Department of Transport how the UNCTAD Secretariat should deal with Hong Kong and Gibraltar.

2. SED and HKD and the Legal Advisers all agree that for the time being it would be preferable if you could act as a Channel of communication for all matters involving the two territories. I hope this does not place too much of an extra load on you.
