method of forming the

Election Committee for 1995 (95' EC), it is important that the Chinese side should use the same model for constituting the Selection Committee (SC) for the first Chief Executive and the Election Committees after 1997 (post-97 ECs) for subsequent Chief Executives, and will also agree that these

committees should

be selected by open

elections.

In

explaining their proposal for the 95' EC to be composed of 600 members, the Chinese made the point that the nature and functions of the 95' EC are different from those of the future committees. At some stage in the talks we may need to explain what exactly do we mean by using the 1995 EC as a model for the subsequent committees.
