Doc. 2857) on the composition and powers of the Bureau of the Assembly which was prepared after consultation with the Bureau,
2. Considers that the regulations governing the functions of the Bureau and the Standing Committee are satisfactory ;
3. Welcomes the Bureau's practice of inviting to its meetings, on an ad hoc basis, other members of the Assembly, and in particular the Chairmen of committees, political groups and national delegations ;

5. Resolves, consequently, to amend the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly as follows :
a Rule 8, paragraph 1 : delete "eight" and insert "ten" ;
b Rule 9, paragraph 6 : delete "eight" and insert "ten" ;
c Rule 42, paragraph 2 : delete "eight" and insert "ten" ;
