§ Mr. Knox Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made in implementing Resolution 125, relating to atomic energy, which was passed by the Assembly of the Council of Europe on 3rd May. 1957.
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreThe Consultative Assembly were informed by the Council of Ministers in May, 1957, that
Governments had noted Resolution 125 with interest and would bear it in mind as far as possible when the matters dealt with therein were discussed in the various international institutionsSince that date the European Nuclear Energy Agency (E.N.E.A.) of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) have both come into existence and arrangements have been made for close co-operation between them. These include participation by representatives of the EURATOM Commission as well as of 261W EURATOM's member states in the work of E.N.E.A. and in certain joint projects being sponsored by it and a joint working party on Basic Health Standards. I understand that as recommended in Resolution 125 arrangements are being made for a joint meeting next January of the Consultative Assembly and of the Six Nation European Parliamentary Assembly.
