A new Asia strategy
1994/2107(COS)
In response to the idea of a Euro-Asian summit floated by the Prime Minister of Singapore, the Council stated that it was favourably inclined to the holding of such a summit in the first half of 1996 at the latest. It instructed the Presidency and the Commission to hold the necessary talks in order to convey that favourable approach and settle the organisational arrangements for such a meeting in the light of the ASEAN discussion paper. The Council finally decided to consider the matter again at its next meeting in May.
