FOI Request for:The MoU on jointly promoting the development of standards in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA Standards)

The request was partially successful.

Dear Trade and Industry Department,

I noticed your department has recently made solid progress regarding fulfilling the KPIs of CE's Policy Address on Integration into National Development under the GBA initiative. Among all achievements, an MoU was signed with the GD government to roll out GBA standard.

In order to support my academic research on rule harmonization, I would like to request a full copy of "The MoU on jointly promoting the development of standards in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA Standards)".
