Preferred Redraft

(c) The phrase "based on the

provisions of this Law" may be construed as allowing for a degree of flexibility in the adherence of the systems to be practised in the SAR

to the terms of the BL.

(d) Para. 2 should preferably be moved to

Art. 17.

(d) Para. 2 is out of place in this article, which is

primarily concerned with the

application in the SAR of

the PRC Constitution.

Possible Channels

Art. 12: The term "local administrative region" departs from the language of the JD and

Art. 31 of the PRC Constitution which refers to "special administrative region".

"local administrative region" should be

substituted by "special administrative region".
