CONFIDENTIAL CM(84)PV 1 - 4 - The CHAIRMAN declared the 74th Session of the Committee of Ministers open. He welcomed colleagues, especially those who were attending for the first time, namely: Mr. R. Dumas Minister for European Affairs of France Mr. G. Hallgrimsson Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iceland Mrs. S. Agnelli State Secretary for Foreign Affairs of Italy Mr. V. Halefoglu Minister for Foreign Affairs of Turkey Mr. R. Whitney Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, United Kingdom He had received the apologies of the Maltese Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Sciberas Trigona, who would not be participating today as there was parliamentary voting in Malta. The CHAIRMAN informed the Committee that the morning session should close at about 12.45 pm that luncheon would take place at 1.15 pm; that the afternoon sitting would resume at 3.15 pm and end at about 6.15 pm. 1. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the provisional agenda (CM(84)OJ 1). One item had been included under 'Other Business', namely the statement to be made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Turkey. He ascertained that no other delegation would like to put any other item on the agenda. The agenda was then adopted, as it appears at Appendix I below. The CHAIRMAN then moved to the order of business referring to document CM(84)108 which outlined the way in which discussion of items on the agenda should be conducted. He invited comments. Mr. KNITEL (Austria) asked for item 4 to be dealt with during the morning sitting. Mr. HALEFOGLU (Turkey) proposed that his statement under item 7a should be given during the morning session. The CHAIRMAN agreed to the two foregoing proposals. The CHAIRMAN reminded the Committee that at about 12.45 pm he would give a short press briefing and at 4.30 pm a press conference would be held. CONFIDENTIAL - 5 - CM(84)PV 1 2. PROGRESS OF EUROPEAN CO-OPERATION The CHAIRMAN recalled that this was a traditional item on the agenda of the Committee of Ministers which allowed the Committee to take stock of recent developments both in the Council of Europe and elsewhere and particularly within the European Communities and EFTA. Written reports had been submitted by the Minister for External Relations of France in his capacity as President of the Council of the European Communities, the Foreign Minister of Sweden on behalf of the EFTA Council, and the Secretary General of the Council of Europe. Mr. DUMAS (France) made the following statement: "As is customary, I shall present the report in my capacity as President-in-Office of the Council of the European Communities, but since I am the first speaker, I should like to take the opportunity of first congratulating the Secretary General and paying him warm tribute. I am sure I speak for the entire assembly when I say that his presence has given a powerful impetus to the development of activities in the Council of Europe. Under his leadership, an important political dialogue among the 21 members has been set up; he has intensified contacts with other democracies and initiated successful co-operation among local authorities, promoting areas in wliich the Council of Europe is particularly active: the defence of human rights, encouragement for cultural exchanges and harmonisation of legislation. He has accomplished all this being possessed, as we know, of an outstanding spirit of initiative, open-mindedness, sense of co-ordination, combined with a most engaging disposition. He has confided in me his intention of devoting himself to the study of Roman law, which will be a new source of satisfaction for him - unless it is a return to his original interests. I am sure that his readings in Justinian and Grotius will have the effect of a fountain of youth, and he will be living proof that after a life of action, a man can return to meditation and reflection. I was anxious to greet him on behalf of all of you before presenting the report. Mr. Chairman, I must now summarise the activities of the European Community since our last Session. They focus primarily on the outcome of the Brussels Summit Conference. Allow me to make two remarks at the outset. The activities of the Community have been conducted in an unfortunate setting that has left its mark on all the member States: I am talking about the austerity policy. This has led to a whole range of difficulties, which account for the disappointing results of the Athens Summit and the partial success in Brussels. Today these difficulties may well increase, because the Community membership will fairly soon be swelled from 10 to 12. France, which as you know has held the Presidency since 1 January 1984 and will continue to do so until 1 July of this year, has tried to find global solutions to each of the Community's problems. CONFIDENTIAL CM(84)PV 1 - 6 - Of the 18 files referred to it, 17 were closed at the Brussels Summit. Only one will come up again at the Fontainebleau Summit, no solution having yet been found, that is the problem of rectifying budgetary imbalances. The results of the other 17, which presented considerable difficulties, warrant special mention. I cite as a reminder the agricultural sector, on which I shall have more to say in a moment, new resources, integrated Mediterranean programmes and research programmes in technology and biochemistry, in other words a series of apparently insoluble problems which were successfully settled thanks to the determination of all delegations. I have mentioned that the most sensitive problem was that of the common agricultural policy. Nevertheless, the Brussels Summit reached a settlement on the serious difficulties concerning agricultural prices, monetary compensatory amounts and surplus problems. The specialised councils that followed the Brussels Summit enabled the decisions taken there to be confirmed, so that 69 regulations were unanimously passed by the Council of Ministers of Agriculture. Here again, the Summit paved the way for examination of problems of the future that might obstruct Community life, in particular existing surpluses or the prospect of surpluses in wine and olive oil. An acceptable solution to the problem of own resources has been found as it was decided at the Summit to increase value added tax from the present level of 1% to 1.4% and later 1.6%. It was also decided to set up integrated Mediterranean programmes which until then had been simply a pious wish. Lastly, I think it is essential to mention that the Summit marked the definitive run-up towards enlargement, with 1 September of this year set as the date for the end of negotiations with Spain and Portugal, accession being scheduled for 1 January 1986. So much for concrete results. The Brussels Summit also set the stage for the Community's future. It blazed the trail for Europe in the 21st century with the development of the research sector and by working on the assumption of a consolidation and unification of the domestic market.

The Edward Steichen Award Luxembourg was founded in 2004 in memory of the eponymous American photographer and museum curator (born in 1879 in Bivange, Luxembourg) with the aim to stimulate the dialogue between the artistic scenes of Europe and the United States – a dialogue that Steichen himself helped to initiate at the outset of the 20th century. This biennial prize, which is awarded by an international jury to an artist from Luxembourg or the Greater Region, rewards its winner with a six-month residency in New York in the framework of the prestigious International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP).

  • Pierre Werner, a Visionary European and Consensus Builder’, in Dyson, K
    Pierre Werner, A Visionary European and Consensus Builder1 Elena Danescu, University of Luxembourg Panel on ‘Architects of the euro’, EUSA, Miami, May 2017 Chair: Amy Verdun; Discussant: Erik Jones Abstract As prime minister and finance minister of Luxembourg over 30 years, Pierre Werner played a major role in the building of a united Europe. He gained a strong reputation as a trustworthy consensus-builder between larger powers (Germany and France) and between diametrically opposed positions (‘economists’ and ‘monetarists’), as well as for his ideas on monetary integration. From the early 1950s, Werner advocated a European monetary system based on a currency unit and on a clearing house for central banks. In 1968 he delivered a clear roadmap to EMU, founded on a symmetrical economic and monetary union, with political union as the ultimate goal. Werner’s vital contributions, notably the ‘effective parallelism’ principle, were evident in the Werner Report of 1970, which was offered as the blueprint for EMU in the EU. Based on original sources, this chapter highlights Werner’s contribution as architect of EMU in a threefold way: intellectual contribution, negotiation methods, and consensus building. Key words Pierre Werner; Werner Report; Economic and Monetary Union; euro; supranational institutions; consensus; small states; Luxembourg 1 A version of this paper has recently been published as Danescu, E. (2016) ‘Pierre Werner, A Visionary European and Consensus Builder’, in Dyson, K. and Maes, I., eds., Architects of the Euro. Intellectuals in the Making of Monetary Union, Oxford: Oxford University Press, chapter 5. 5 INTRODUCTION Pierre Werner (1913–2002) was an economist and a lawyer, a politician and a diplomat, and a leading player in the building of a united Europe, in particular in monetary integration.

It analyzes how amateur films present a filmic world and examines specific notions of meaning generation without meta-data and original context. Rather than take amateur film as a homogenous genre or practice, this study concentrates on film language. The first part of the following two-fold engagement with these filmic worlds thus identifies the highly differentiated filmic modes that can be read from the images. A filmic mode is related to as a concomitance of style and choice in subject matter. Without original context, these films lose their most important means of meaning generation, namely the recollective narratives that are constructed by the intended audience in the viewing situation.
