YRTELNO 1031HONG KONG BILL OF RIGHTS

1. WE AGREE WITH THE VIEWS IN PARA 2 OF TUR. ON REFLECTION, WE WOULD PROPOSE INSTEAD TO USE QUOTE REN QUAN FA AN UNQUOTE FOR THE

BILL OF RIGHTS. THIS ALSO SEEMS TO BE THE TERM PREFERRED BY THE LOCAL POPULATION, WHICH HAS REFERRED TO IT CONSISTENTLY DURING THE CONSULTATION PERIOD. LITERALLY IT COULD EQUATE TO HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

AS SUGGESTED IN PARA 3 OF TUR.

2. THUS, SUBJECT YOURS AND ADDRESSEES' VIEWS, THE FULL CHINESE TITLE OF THE LEGISLATION WOULD THUS BECOME QUOTE XIANG GANG REN QUAN FA AN TIAO LI UNQUOTE WHILE THE ENGLISH TITLE WOULD REMAIN QUOTE HONG KONG BILL OF RIGHTS ORDINANCE UNQUOTE. PART TWO OF THE LEGISLATION WOULD ACCORDINGLY BECOME QUOTE REN QUAN FA AN UNQUOTE.
