Court of Auditors: appointment of three additional members

Under the act of accession of Austrian, Sweden and Finland, the number of members of the Court of Auditors will need to be increased to fifteen by appointing a further three members as soon as these countries accede. The Council therefore wrote to the European Parliament on 12 January 1995, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty, in order to consult it on the appointment of the following three persons as members of the Court of Auditors: - Mr Hubert Weber, nominated by Austria; - Mr Aunus Olavi Salmi, nominated by Finland; - Mr Jan O. Karlsson, nominated by Sweden. The Council hoped that Parliament would give an opinion as quickly as possible, given the obligations accruing pursuant to the act of accession.�
