1 Recommendation adopted
24th August 19S0, at the conclusion of the Debate on the Report
from the Committee on Social Questions
1. The Assembly declared itself in favour of the establishment
of a European Code of Social Security, the effect of which would
be not the standardisation of the social security legislation in
the different countries, but the raising, by various methods, of
social security in every country to an equally high level, in accordance
with the general principles set forth in the Appendix to the present
Document.
2. The Assembly is of the opinion that this Code should be prepared
as a Convention by the Council of Europe, in collaboration with
the I. L. 0., whose documentation must be used as the basis for
all the work in this field of the Council of Europe.
3. The Convention should be adopted by a European Labour Conference,
convened according to the rules adopted by the I. L. 0., on the
basis of a threefold representation of Governments, employers and
workers.
4. Recommends that the Committee of Ministers take the necessary
steps, in conjunction with the I. L. 0., for the preparation and
summoning of such a Conference.
