MAIN CONCLUSIONS OF THE 1995
REPORT BY THE EUROPEAN SELECT COMMITTEE COMPARED WITH THE TEXT
OF THE AMSTERDAM TREATY
1995 REPORT RECOMMENDATION
The Presidency
Any system of presidencies must
combine elements of continuity in essential tasks and elements
of change, to ensure that all Member States participate as fully
as possible in the management of the Union... None of our witnesses
has provided a wholly satisfactory answer to the problems of the
presidency in an enlarged Community. The proposals for team presidencies
that we have heard all have disadvantages, and some of these may
turn out to be very serious... However, no-one has proposed a
viable alternative. We acknowledge that something must be done,
but we do not contemplate the prospect of team presidencies with
great enthusiasm.(242)
OUTCOME OF THE TREATY
The Presidency
No change proposed in the Treaty.
