maintain

the development of

following

telecommunication services to meet the needs of the Hong Kong

community after 1997, the British side makes the

proposals:-

(a) The responsible authorities in the Hong Kong SAR

should be authorised by the Government of the

People's Republic of China to administer, with

the same degree of autonomy as Hong Kong now has,

the telecommunication services in Hong Kong.

This autonomy should as at present include the

of policies, introduction of

legislation, planning of band usage, assignment

of frequencies, licensing of services and radio

stations, control of interference, certification

of operating personnel, etc.

formulation

(b) The

representatives of the Hong Kong SAR

administration should be invited to participate

at Plenipotentiary and Administrative Conferences

of the ITU as

ITU as members of the delegations of the

People's Republic of China.

(c) The Hong Kong SAR authorities should be permitted

participate, in the name of 'Hong Kong,

to

China', in meetings of the CCIR and CCITT and in

arranged or

other activities, such as seminars,

co-ordinated by the ITU.
