HONG KONG TELNO 1234 TO FCO: EC VISA REGIME FOR BDTCS/BN (0)S

1. THE NEW SCHENGEN VISA REGIME IS BEING EXTENDED TO MANY OTHER COUNTRIES. FROM SPAIN'S POINT OF VIEW NORTH AFRICAN AND LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES POSE REAL DIFFICULTIES FOR THEM. HONG KONG, WITH ONLY 5000 VISITORS A YEAR, IS NOT A PROBLEM. WOULD IT BE HELPFUL PRESENTATIONALLY FOR HONG KONG IF WE TRIED TO GET HOLD OF THE SCHENGEN COMMON VISA LIST?
