Expiry of the ECSC treaty: financial consequences and research fund for coal and steel

The European Parliament approved, with the amendments tabled by the committee responsible on 12/09/01 and which were subsequently approved at the sitting of 02/10/01, the proposal by Mr Francesco TURCHI (UEN, I). In addition, two compromise amendments were also approved which refer to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission coming to an agreement on the procedure to be followed regarding budgetary information on the management of the Coal and Steel Research Fund, as well as the implementation of research activities of the Fund. This procedure, it states, should ensure the appropriate involvement of the European Parliament in the follow-up of the activities of the Fund. �
