1 Thanks the Commission of Euratom for the transmission of its First General Report and for the readiness it expresses to take part in joint meetings of the Consultative Assembly and the European Parliamentary Assembly ;
2 Hopes that an agreement may be reached in the near future on further methods of collaboration between Euratom and the Council of Europe as provided for under Article 200 of the Treaty establishing Euratom and as proposed by the Assembly in its
Recommendation 146 and
Resolution 130 of October 1957 ; in particular the Assembly hopes that, in addition to the regular transmission of the Commission's reports and the holding of joint sessions of the two Assemblies, arrangements will be made for joint meetings of the competent committees of the two Assemblies, for meetings between the Commission of Euratom and Committees of the Consultative Assembly, together with the exchange of documents on subjects of common interest and for close contacts between the Secretariats ;
3 Welcomes the arrangements with other international organisations and interested countries, already concluded or in preparation, as evidence of the Commission's intention of developing international collaboration in peaceful uses of atomic energy on the widest scale ;
4 Congratulates the Commission on the rapid conclusion of the Co-operation Agreement with the United States ;
5 Expresses its wish to be enabled to follow in greater detail in the future the development of Euratom's relations with the European Nuclear Energy Agency of O.E.E.C., particularly as regards the co-ordination of health control and security control regulations and atomic risk insurance ;
6 Requests the Commission to explore to the fullest extent with its partners in E.N.E.A. the possibilities of associating them individually or collectively in limited Euratom projects, particularly in the fields of research and training ;
7 Expresses its belief that the role of the Consultative Assembly is to support the realisation of Euratom's objectives as well as those of E.N.E.A. and that by closely following and advising on the development of their relations it may contribute to a better public understanding of the problems of the two European nuclear organisations and to securing confidence in their operations.
