The Assembly,

Having regard to Recommendation 30 (1950) on the urgent necessity of assistance to refugees;

Having regard to Recommendation 13 (1951) on the problems of refugees and overpopulation;

Having regard to Recommendation 35 (1952) on the international financing of the rehabilitation of refugees and surplus elements of population;

Considering that the moral adaptation of young refugees from beyond the Iron Curtain must be regarded as a European responsibility;

Considering that the work undertaken by such organisations as the " European Education Community " has already provided a basis for achieving this task,

Recommends that the Committee of Ministers :

1 consider to what extent the institutions of the Council of Europe itself might be of service in carrying out this task.
