Abstract: MERLIN positions of 12 radio stars are used to link the provisional Hipparcos reference frame to the International Celestial Reference Frame. The accuracy of the link using these radio stars is 2.3 milliarcseconds. Further observations are planned to check the accuracy of the link in the future.
