Extract

Common Assembly An extraordinary session of the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was held in Brussels from March 13 to 16, 1956; the session was opened by Mr. Spaak, Belgian Foreign Minister, who presented a preliminary report of the Brussels Intergovernmental Committee of which he was chairman on the proposed common market and on Eura-tom. After reviewing the Committee's proposals, Mr. Spaak said that the final problem for the common market was that of institutions; Mr. Spaak told the Assembly that the experts had proposed an executive with a limited field of action but sufficient powers to implement a common market treaty. The executive was to work by majority decisions; it would take decisions on the elimination of subsidies and other supports and apply safeguard provisions during the period of transition.
