Ireland was represented at the meeting of the committee of Minister's Deputies of the Council of Europe which decided to transmit Resolution No. 458, adopted by the Consultative Assembly, to member governments so that national delegations of member states attending the second session of the 4th European Space Conference might take account of the assembly's views.
As in the case of earlier meetings of the European Space Conference, Ireland will be represented at the second session of the 4th conference by an observer only and, in consequence, its delegation will not be in a position to participate in its decisions.
