Reply to the Third Report on the activities on the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration

Resolution 83 (1955)

Author(s):
Parliamentary Assembly
Origin
(see Doc. 351 and Doc. 441, Third Report and addendum on the activities of the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration, and Doc. 460, draft Resolution of the Committee on Population and Refugees). This Resolution was adopted by the Assembly at its 26th Sitting, on 26th October, 1955

The Consultative Assembly has examined the Third Report of I. C. E. M. with special satisfaction. It thanks the Director for this clear and concise document which has enabled it to appreciate fully the work carried out by this Organisation.

It is glad to note that the Constitution of I. C. E. M. has been ratified by 23 Governments and that the delegates of three Governments which have not yet notified their acceptance of the Constitution have announced that the ratification procedure is under way.

The Assembly hopes that the Committee may- within the framework of the policy which the Special Representative of the Council of Europe intends to submit to the Committee of Ministers for approval- increase the volume of migration by contriving largescale land settlement schemes for the benefit of European emigrants and by any other possible means.
