HC Deb 31 May 1967 vol 747 cc32-3W
Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what amendments have been made to the Articles of the Treaty of Rome since it was signed on 25th March, 1957.

Mr. George Brown

None. However, the Treaty establishing a single Council and single Commission of the European Communities will, when it comes into force, amend or repeal some of the Article of the Treaty of Rome relating to the Institutions of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will place in the Library of the House of Commons a list of those Articles of the Treaty of Rome which provide that, after the expiration of the transitional period, their provisions shall only come into effect if the members of the Community unanimously so desire.

Mr. George Brown

Yes.
