The Assembly,
Having regard to the fact that Article 1 (d) of the Statute excludes from its competence the Btudy of problems of national defence,
Considers that it is possible for it, within the framework of, thg present Statute, to hold general Debates on political problems of a non-military character which are linked with the need of assuring the security of Europe,
Declares that it is highly desirable that such Debates should allow European parliamentary opinion to express itself clearly on this subject.
