B Explanatory Memorandum

1

Having received from the Bureau of the Assembly the requests for consultative status of two international non-governmental organisations, the Committees of the Assembly have made the following proposals to the Committee of Chairmen:

1 Social Commillee - Category C for the Consultative Council of Jewish Organisations.

2 Cultural Committee - Category B for the European Union of Women. After considering the proposals of the two Committees on 3rd May 1958 on the subject of the grant of consultative status to the international non-governmental organisations concerned, the Committee of Chairmen unanimously agreed with the opinion of the Cultural Committee as regards the European Union of Women, but decided to propose that the Consultative Council of Jewish Organisations should also be granted status B, having regard to the fact that it already enjoys such a status with the Specialised Agencies of the United Nations.
