They provide a service to our society that is indispensable and far too little recognized. They fulfil their mission with dedication and devotion. For this we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation. All parties represented in the National Council identify with the democratic control of the Austrian Armed Forces; every one of the five Parliamentary parties has a seat and a vote on the Austrian Parliamentary Commission for the Federal Armed Forces in proportion to their number of seats in the National Council. All the commission’s recommendations are proof that the concerns of the individual soldier and not party-political interests are at the centre of the deliberations and efforts of the Austrian Parliamentary Commission for the Federal Armed Forces. The members of the Austrian Parliamentary Commission for the Federal Armed Forces are unreservedly supported in the respective cases under review by the advisors who participate in the meetings and provide their expertise. Special thanks go to the staff of the Office of the Austrian Parliamentary Commission for the Federal Armed Forces. In a demanding year they contributed to the implementation of the National Council’s task of democratic oversight and control in the interests of our soldiers. 3 Annual report 2010 I.

The talks covered entire gamut of bilateral relations and international issues of mutual concern. Special emphasis was put on strengthening economic and commercial cooperation, scientific cooperation and people to people exchanges. President Fischer strongly supported India’s place in a reformed UN Security Council. He said that ‘We recognize that the world is changing fast and that the current composition in the Security Council does not reflect the realities of the new world order currently emerging. Your country deserves to play a bigger role in the Security Council’. Austrian Federal President Dr. Heinz Fischer visited India in February 2005. The Joint Statement issued during the visit highlighted the need to keep up the momentum of exchanging high level visits, expanding and deepening cooperation in power, environment, health infrastructure, biotechnology, information technology, engineering and transport, intensifying cooperation between universities and research institutions, expanding direct air- links between the two countries, condemning terrorism and a dialogue on UN related issues.
