Super Body To Run Coal And Steel Pool Advocated
PARIS, July 25., The French Foreign Minister, Mr. Schuman, today proposed the creation of a new European “super authority” to supervise a continental heavy industrypool and also to handle possible disputes on otheri questions between Western European nations. Speaking in the National Assembly debate on the Schuman Plan he proposed the setting up of control machinery consisting of: 1. A supranational high authority whose charter is now being drafted in Paris by representatives of the Schuman plan countries; 2. An international Parliamentary assembly with sovereign powers to * supervise the supranational high authority;
3. A supranational court of justice to hear appeals against the high authority’s decisions; 4. A committee of ministers that could sit jointly with the high authority.
Mr. Schuman admitted ‘‘differences both of form and principle” between the Schuman Plan countries and Britain but said that some form of association between Britain and the Continental nations might be worked out . “If Britain does not wish to come in with us, we shall seek forms of possible association between her and the European community," he said.
