A Draft Resolution
The Assembly, having examined the Document 29 submitted by MM. Tsaldaris and Rodo-poulos on the Tobacco Monopoly decides :
1. Not to recommend the setting up of a European tobacco monopoly with a view to financing the activities of the Council of Europe by the provision of a set percentage of its income.
2. Approving the terms contained in the Recommendation of the Committee on Economic Questions with regard to agricultural production and in particular Para. 1 (d), asks it to pursue its general examination already under way with regard to the solution of the problem of agricultural surpluses, from the angle of the cultivation of tobacco. This measure is all the more desirable in that it would assist in reducing the dollar deficit and that there is, at the present time a surplus of European tobacco that could be absorbed by Member States of the Council of Europe.
