Common Assembly

The Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) held its second extraordinary session in Stras-bourg from May 6 to 9, 1955, and its third ordinary session in the same place, May 10 ot 14; the third ordinary session was scheduled to reconvene on June 21. At the extraordinary session, the Assembly heard a report by its president, Mr. Pella (Italy), on his talks with the governments of ECSC members on various political matters. The Assembly approved a provisional budget of 78 million Belgian francs and also decided to establish a working party with 26 members to report to the Assembly on the procedure which might be proposed to ensure a more precise formulation of the Assembly's powers of control over the Community and the common market and to study the problems which would arise in the event the members of the Assembly were elected by universal suffrage.
