VOTING RIGHTS. IF A HONG KONG DELEGATION WERE TO ATTEND IN

ASSOCIATION WITH THE UK DELEGATION, IT WILL NOT THEREFORE HAVE A VOTE.

THIS ISSUE IS HOWEVER CLOSELY LINKED WITH HONG KONG'S

SEPARATE MEMBERSHIP OF THE CCC AND AS YOU KNOW WE HOPE TO BE ABLE

TO RESOLVE THIS SOON. BUT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW IF HONG KONG INTENDS TO BECOME A FULL CONTRACTING PARTY TO THE HS

CONVENTION IF IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE CCC.
