"Mr President, I agree with the many speakers who have criticised the lack of democracy in the continued administration of the funds. As has been pointed out, the treaty expires on 23 July of next year. This treaty formed the basis for the European Union as we know it today. It launched the concept of the ‘Common Market’ and, with the introduction of the High Authority, a common assembly, a special Council of Ministers and a court, those institutions were established which now operate as the Commission, the European Parliament the Council and the Court of Justice. I think it is worth mentioning this.
Where the political objectives are concerned, it has of course to be said that these have been fulfilled in many areas. When we debated the future employment of the funds to be administered, it would have been desirable if a larger proportion of the budget could have gone on coal, and I am certain that the Commission will bear this in mind when the future arrangements for the Research Fund are discussed.
I think there is cause here today for expressing appreciation for the work done in those institutions, bodies and companies which, for 50 years, have been responsible for the ECSC’s activities and, specifically, for the contributions from the Commission and the advisory committee. As has been said, more research will take place, and this research will be of benefit to the environment, industry and our electorate in the European Union."@en1
