CS' media session after meeting Mainland legal experts in Beijing
*****************************************************************
The following is the transcript (English portion) of the media session by the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Donald Tsang, on the meeting with the Mainland legal experts tonight (February 9):
Question: The legal experts' views were widely publicised in Hong Kong. Is there anything new?
Chief Secretary: They have expressed views, as you said some of which are familiar to the Hong Kong public. They have said that certain matters of principle and the procedural matters are related. As far as the procedural matters are concerned, the experts believe they are easier to resolve than matters of principle which are complicated and very important. Also the
matters of principle form the foundation of the constitutional arrangements. So they hope very much these matters will be discussed further in Hong Kong objectively and rationally, and hopefully we will find a common ground.
(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the transcript.)
