It will be for Paris to tell us when and where to meet for the preparatory session and on the day.

I confirmed that there will be translators present at the meeting with the Justice Ministry.

You
9. Briefing I gave you an outline letter for Mr Wooler. kindly undertook to add to this and to put together a briefing package drawn from the papers we hold on file. I will ask Paris for the missing translation into English of our "memoir ampliatif" of 11 March (you will copy the letter and all the
TEL 213 3505 papers to Ms Evans).
10.
We agreed that it would be useful to have something to hand over to the French on the Hong Kong system of justice, as suggested by Mr McGregor. You will take the enclosure sent with Mr Harris' letter of 10 February as a starting point and will contact Hong Kong if you need any further input from them. Mr Harris can be reached on (852) 867 2367, fax (852) 877 3365 and Mr Grossman on (852) 867 2328 fax (852) 869 0236. To complete your Hong Kong list, Mr Best (of Clifford Chance) is on (852) 810 0229.
11.
I will do some further work on the introductory statement which I showed you which underlines the importance HMG attaches to Saniman's extradition. You will give some thought to how to broach the points which we believe the French have problems with. You will liase with Hong Kong (chiefly) and
We should Paris on how they see the agenda on the legal side. have some kind of draft to send round the houses before the Hong Kong team leave Hong Kong. (It is not clear to me at this stage whether we shall need or want to say anything to the French in advance about the ground to be covered by the meeting.)
12. If you need help finding back documents, or with typing, we will do our best to help, please contact Mr Morris in the first instance.
