IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SINO-BRITISH JOINT DECLARATION

In December, the five BLDC Special Groups met again to discuss how the second draft should be revised in the light of the outcome of the second consultation exercise. It was agreed that the Special Group on Political Systems would meet again in January 1990. The BLDC will meet in plenary session, in February 1990, to consider the final draft. This will then be submitted to the NPC, which is expected to promulgate the Basic Law in the spring of 1990.
