Resolution was adopted by the Assembly at its 34th Sitting, on 10th
December, 1954 (see Doc.
324, Draft Resolution of the Committee on General Affairs).
1. The Assembly has noted with the
keenest interest the Report transmitted to it by the Common Assembly of
the European Coal and Steel Community in pursuance of Article 2
of the Protocol to the Treaty setting up the Community. It regards
the communication of this Report as a fresh step in the establishment
of intimate relations between the two Assemblies, and as being of
a nature to permit of harmony of action.
2. The Assembly particularly appreciates the wide range of information
provided by the Report and its clear analysis of the development
of the various institutions of the Community. It wishes to stress
the importance of this document for a fuller understanding of the
activities of the Community and, in particular, of the part played within
the Community by its Common Assembly.
3. The Assembly hopes at future Sessions to be in a position
to carry out a careful examination of the Common Assembly's Annual
Report and to transmit to that Assembly its detailed comments on
the various matters dealt with therein. The Assembly regrets that
in the case of the present Report such a study cannot be undertaken
during the remainder of its Sixth Ordinary Session. It requests
those of its Committees, however, which are instructed to follow
the course of the Community's activities, to continue examination
of the present Report, and, in particular, to take into account
the information so provided in connection with their examination of
the third Annual General Report of the High Authority.
The Assembly is anxious to be able, at future Sessions, to
study the Annual Report of the Common Assembly in conjunction with
that of the High Authority, and, accordingly, requests its Bureau
to arrange with the Bureau of the Common Assembly the most convenient
date for communication of this Report, having regard to the calendar
of meetings of the respective Assemblies.
