YOUR TELNO 2734 : DAYA BAY ADVISORY BODY
WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME LEGCO MEMBERS ARE TAKING UP WITH NCNA
THEIR PROPOSAL THAT THE CHINESE SHOULD SET UP AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY BODY, WITH HONG KONG PARTICIPATION, TO COVER THE SAFETY AND MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF THE DAYA BAY PLANT. WONG PO-YAN IS ALSO PURSUING THE MATTER WITH THE CHINESE OFFICIALS IN THE MARGINS OF THE BASIC LAW DRAFTING COMMITTEE. HOWEVER WE ARE NOT (NOT) ABLE TO PROVIDE DETAILS OF THE CONTENT OF THESE DISCUSSIONS NOR ARE WE ABLE TO GIVE ANY BACKGROUND ON WONG PO-YAN'S COMMENT THAT THE
PROPOSAL WOULD MATERIALISE IN THREE MONTHS.
2.
THE PROPOSAL WAS ONE OF THE LEGCO FACT FINDING DELEGATIONS'
OB SERVATIONS DIRECTED TOWARDS THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. AS THE
LEGCO MEMBERS ARE PURSUING THE MATTER WITH THE CHINESE, WE THINK IT WOULD BE WISER TO LEAVE IT WITH THEM FOR THE TIME BEING. WE SHALL OF-COURSE REVERT TO YOU IF THERE ARE ANY FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
WHICH WARRANT PEKING'S INVOLVEMENT.
