When we met recently in Shenzhen, you expressed an interest in the subject of the Single European Market.

I enclose a copy of the

a booklet prepared by the Department of Trade and Industry, explaining the implications of the Market together with a recent speech by Mrs Chalker (Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office) and extracts from a speech by Sir Geoffrey Howe (Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs). I hope that these will be of use to you.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your effort in showing me around the Special Economic Zone. I found the visit, and our discussion over lunch, very interesting and useful. I was most impressed with the speed with which the city is developing, and I hope to have the chance to visit Shenzhen again some time in the future.

Yours sincerely,

lickolas Vidolos Sammen.
