MY TELNO 1743 AND UKDEL OECD PARIS TELNO 66: OECD MEMBERSHIP

WHILE OUR VIEWS REMAIN AS IN FIRST TUR, WE SEE NO DIFFICULTY WITH THE SUGGESTION IN PARA 5 OF SECOND TUR FOR A DISCUSSION BETWEEN UKDEL OECD AND HKG OFFICIALS. WE AGREE THAT THE MARGINS OF THE OECD/DAE TRADE MEETING IN MID-JULY MIGHT BE A SUITABLE OCCASION. AN ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE FOR OUR SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE IN BRUSSELS (WEBB-JOHNSON) TO TAKE THIS ON DURING ONE OF HIS REGULAR VISITS TO PARIS. WE WOULD ON BALANCE PREFER THE LATTER APPROACH AS BEING LESS VISIBLE. SUBJECT TO YOUR AGREEMENT WE SHALL INSTRUCT WEBB-JOHNSON ACCORDINGLY.
