The Commission's proposal was presented to the Council in January 1976. Copies of this are available in the Library of the House (Official Journal volume 19, column 61 of 17 March 1976).
While I am anxious to have an early decision taken by the Council, it is not possible to give any firm date for a decision. As the proposal is the subject of negotiation, I am not prepared to make any detailed comments on it at this stage.
