The statement stated that the "Sino-British Joint Statement" pointed out that Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy and stipulates that Hong Kong's laws protect the rights and freedoms including personal, assembly, association and news. The direct participation of the legislature and the judiciary obviously undermines the principle of "one country, two systems" and a high degree of autonomy.
Josep Borrell, senior representative of the EU's foreign affairs and security policy, issued a statement that Hong Kong's continued stability and prosperity under the "one country, two systems" policy is in the interest of the EU. The statement also stated that in accordance with the Basic Law and its commitment to the international community, it is important for China to provide Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy.
The European Union believes that the best way to legislate on the National Security Law in Hong Kong is for China to consult and consult the public in a democratic way in Hong Kong to protect the freedom of Hong Kong people. The EU calls on China to respect Hong Kong ’s high degree of autonomy and expresses its close attention to developments.
