SANCTIONS AGAINST SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO

HONG KONG

Please see the attached letter from the Government Secretariat in Hong Kong.

1.

2.

It is the UND feeling that :

a)

There are insufficient grounds for forfeiture;

b)

The vessel should remain impounded; and

c)

Costs should be recovered by selling assets from the vessel, or the vessel itself. Excess revenue must be put into a frozen account.

3.

I would be grateful for your views.
