Extract

The eighteenth session of the International Wheat Council was held in Geneva on November 7,1955, while the United Nations Wheat Conference was meeting. The Council, in connection with consideration of quality differentials during the UN Conference, agreed that information should be furnished by the Secretariat concerning prices as recorded in past transactions under the Agreement and also on current prices in the future. The nineteenth session met in London on July 17, 1956, at which time the Council noted expenditure for office and conference accommodation in Haymarket House for the International Sugar Council and the International Wheat Council, and expressed its approval of various proposals, to be adopted subject to the agreement of the International Sugar Council, for apportioning the expenditure between the two bodies and for arrangements necessary for the discharge of their joint responsibilities in connection with the premises. After this session, a conference of the signatories of the International Wheat Agreement, 1956, met and agreed that the latter should come into force.
