SUBSIDIES 
 
Replies to Questions Posed by the UNITED STATES1 Regarding the 
New and Full Subsidy Notification of HONG KONG, CHINA2 
 
 
 The following communication, dated 20 September 2011, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of Hong Kong, China. 
 
_______________ 
 
 
 In response to the United States' question concerning paragraph 27, page 20 in the 
Hong Kong, China Trade Policy Review, on 10 February 2011 (WT/TPR/M/241/Add.1), it is 
stated that "IEs [Industrial Estates] have b een developed to provide affordable land for 
industries both in the manufacturing and service s ectors, to facilitate the overall development of 
Hong Kong, China's economy."  In regards to this  programme's requirements, it was also stated 
that, "Companies with heavy investment and new and improved technology are favoured over 
others." 
 
 What criteria are used to determine if a company qualifies as having heavy 
investment and improved technology? 
 
Reply 
  The industrial estates (IEs) are to provide developed land to companies with new or improved technology and processes which can broaden Hong K ong’s industrial base and upgrade its technology 
levels.  Applicants for IEs must satisfy the following admission criteria -  
(i) The industrial project must be of a nature  which effectively prohibits it from being 
carried out in an ordinary multi-storey i ndustrial or commercial building available on 
the open market in Hong Kong.   
(ii) The project must not be classified as an offensive trade under regulations of the 
Government of the Hong Kong Sp ecial Administrative Region. 
(iii) The primary activity must not be storage or warehousing.  
 Projects most welcome are those which involve (i) new or improved products or services; (ii) 
new or upgraded technology; (iii) high added value; (i v) products or services for which there is strong 
demand from local industry; (v) significant investme nt particularly in new machinery and equipment; 
(vi) employment at a higher level of skill; (vii) specialised and sophisticated supporting services etc.

Page 2  
 
   The same admission and consideration criteria are applicable to companies irrespective of 
their sectors and final products/outputs.   
 Please explain why this programme should not be notified given that certain types of 
companies appear to be favoured. 
 
Reply 
  The programme of industrial estates is not specific to any enterprise or industry or group of enterprises or industries. The same admission criteria are applicable to all co mpanies irrespective of 
their sectors and final products/outputs.  As such, we  are of the view that the industrial estates do not 
fall within the meaning of subsidies notifiabl e under Article 25.2 of the SCM Agreement.
