5. WE ACCEPT THAT THE INFORMATION WE ARE ASKING FOR ON ON-SITE MATTERS IS MORE THAN THE MINIMUM NECESSARY. IF THE GUANGDONG SIDE HAVE PROBLEMS IN MEETING ALL OUR REQUIREMENTS, WE WOULD TRY TO ASSIST IN OVERCOMING THESE PROBLEMS WHERE POSSIBLE. WE COULD ALSO CONSIDER REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DETAILED ENGINEERING DATA WE WANT. WE WILL BE ABLE TO ASSURE THE GUANGDONG SIDE THAT WE HAVE THE EXPERTISE WITHIN THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT TO ANALYSE AND INTERPRET THE TECHNICAL DATA WE ARE REQUESTING, THE PURPOSE OF WHICH IS TO ENABLE US TO REASSURE THE HONG KONG PUBLIC, FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL CONCERNED.

6. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO PEKING FOR THE LATEST LOBBYING EFFORTS, WHICH WE HOPE WILL CLEAR THE WAY FOR A SATISFACTORY OUTCOME AT THE NEXT ROUND OF TALKS.
