on Rules of Procedure and Privileges. See Doc. AS (2) 98 and Sitting

The Consultative Assembly approves the principle
of the establishment of a Joint Committee composed of Representatives
of the Committee of Ministers and of Representatives of the Consultative
Assembly. The task of this Committee will be :
- To maintain good relations between
the Committee of Ministers and the Consultative Assembly, and to co-ordinate
their activities by periodical examinations of the problems common
to them both ;
- To draw the attention of the Committee of Ministers and
of the Consultative Assembly to questions which are of particular
interest to the Council of Europe, and after studying the reports
that have been received, to make, if necessary, suitable proposals
for the draft Agenda of the sessions of the Committee of Ministers
and of the Consultative Assembly, without prejudice, however, to
the respective rights of these two organs ;
- Finally to examine and to promote the introduction of
such measures as are likely to give practical effect to the Recommendations
adopted by the Committee of Ministers or the Consultative Assembly.
The Assembly, while recommending the adoption of special Rules
of Procedure for the Joint Committee, is in agreement with the proposals
and conclusions drawn up by the ad hoc Joint Committee on May 18th,
1950, with regard to the structure and powers of the Joint Committee
(CM/AS (50) PV 2).
The Assembly decides that the seven Representatives of the
Assembly on the Joint Committee shall include the President of the
Assembly and six members of the Standing Committee designated by
the latter.
