FURTHER TO PARA 3(D) (II) OF TUR THE FOLLOWING IS A DRAFT
SUPPLEMENTARY SPEAKING NOTE FOR USE IN CAPITALS IN BELGIUM, THE
NETHERLANDS, LUXEMBOURG, FRANCE, THE FRG, DENMARK, NORWAY, SWEDEN
AND FINLAND. ON REFLECTION WE THINK IT SHOULD ALSO BE USED IN
SPAIN, IF YOU AGREE. IT HAS BEEN DRAFTED IN A GENERAL SENSE SO THAT IT MAY BE USED EVERYWHERE, ALTHOUGH WE WOULD INTEND TO GIVE
POSTS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DISCRETION TO ADAPT IT ACCORDING TO ANY
PURELY LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS (EG WE THINK IT WOULD BE RIGHT TO LET
POSTS DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO USE PARA 5). GRATEFUL FOR
COMMENTS.

THE SUBJECT OF VISA ABOLITION FOR BDTCS FROM HONG KONG IS
ONE THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE. I KNOW THAT IT IS SOMETHING
YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT (WITH YOUR PARTNERS IN THE (SCHENGEN
AGREEMENT) (NORDIC COUNCIL)). WE OF COURSE CONTINUE TO HOPE VERY
MUCH THAT YOU WILL FEEL ABLE (TO CONTINUE TO HAVE NO VISA
REQUIREMENT) (ON CONSIDERATION, TO AGREE TO LIFT VISA
REQUIREMENTS) FOR VISITORS FROM HONG KONG WITH BRITISH PASSPORTS.
