PREFACE

The Consultative Committee marked the 25th anniversary of the first

full session of the Committee in 1953 with an academic session and gala dinner

held in the New Theatre in Luxembourg on 26 January 1978. The academic session

took place in the presence of His Royal Highness Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg,

who also received the members of the Bureau in audience before the session.

The speeches were made by Mr Thorn, Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Viscount

Davignon, Member of the European Commission, and by Mr Ackermann, President

of the Consultative Committee.

In accordance with tradition, one Session was held aw~ from Luxembourg

and took Pace, at the choice of the President, in Menton in France on 6 and 7

October 1977. A reception was offered by the town of Menton, and a visit to

the "Roger Latournerie" holiday centre of the Cru.Jse Autonome Nationale de la

Securite Sociale dans les Mines (social security scheme for miners) took place.

On 15 November 1977 the def).th occurred of Com::1ander John Hamer, a

British member of the consumers' category, and on 10 June 1978 of Mr Leslie

Jenkins, also a British member of the consumers' category. Both Commander

Hamer and Mr Jenkins had been members of the Committee since the entry of the

United Kingdom into the European Community in January 1973·

A report of its activity was given to the Subcommittee for Labour

Problems at its meeting on 25 April in Saarbrllcken by a representative from

the Joint Committee on Coal which had originally been set up foll~wing a reso

lution adopted by the Consultative Committee in 1954.

The exercise for the year 1977/78 was prolonged by three months due

to a delay in the renewal of the membership of the Committee by the Council.

It1hus covered the 15-month period 12 July 1977 to 20 October 1978.
