Exclusive | Call from European Parliament to cancel Hong Kong’s customs status over national security law trial

In a resolution obtained by the Post, lawmakers will also renew calls for “targeted sanctions” on Hong Kong’s political leaders, including Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu.

The non-binding resolution will be debated in the chamber on Wednesday evening before a vote on Thursday.

It urges EU member states to “file an International Court of Justice case against China’s decision to impose the national security law” on Hong Kong.

The US revoked Hong Kong’s special status in 2020 due to the implementation of the national security law in the city. Hong Kong previously enjoyed lower trade tariffs and a separate customs framework in its dealings with the US.

The European Parliament resolution is expected to be passed by a clear majority, in line with previous ones on Hong Kong and greater China.
