The Assembly,

Convinced that European international organisations could assist universities of member countries to familiarise themselves with problems of European integration,

Recommends that the Committee of Ministers should :

1 Enlarge considerably the Council of Europe's programme of courses of European studies in order to enable one such course to be held whenever the Consultative Assembly meets at Strasbourg, and at least one period of study to be devoted every year to students or interested university teachers ;Consider the advantages of reserving these periods of study to prizewinners in competitions relating to subjects of European interest ;

2 Authorise the Secretary General to grant the necessary facilities to officials of the Secretariat General invited by universities to give courses and lectures on the structure and problems of European organisations ;

3 Decide to supply, free of charge, official documents of the Council of Europe to universities, upon request, in order to enable these universities to build up, in each case, a documentation centre specialising in problems of European organisations.
