eeeks. thanks for liberating this from MoC web. when is the Hongkong
round? next week?
it does seem good idea to point out the difference between sub-classes in
the UN code (poor ole planning has problem, it is sub-class!) and
implications of other details (reflecting what lawyers might call
non-application-of-mind; btw, how come legal consultancy services are
excluded? news reports suggested otherwise).
letter draft / points to raise would help. I will have a go for planning
(with bit about architecture, legit-ly, as for some curious reason only
limitation to market access for planning is establishment only through
incorporation as partnership firm constituted by Architects!)
