Mallia-Testaferrata CONFIDENTIAL - 3 - CM/Del/Concl(79)312 The Chairman welcomed Mr. Jean Hostert, the new Permanent Representative of Luxembourg, who was attending his first meeting of the Deputies. He was sure that they would work together smoothly and profitably, all the more so as he would be the first Permanent Representative of Luxembourg to reside in Strasbourg. He hoped that this example would be followed by the few delegations which were not as yet resident. The Representative of Luxembourg thanked the Chairman for his kind words. He had greatly appreciated the friendly and understanding reception given by his colleagues and was sure that his stay in Strasbourg, as the first resident Permanent Representative of Luxembourg, would be both pleasant and instructive. The Chairman said that it was the last time that the Committee would have the pleasure of the company of Mr. H. Meincke, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Federal Republic of Germany, who was to leave Strasbourg rather sooner than expected in order to take up his new post in The Hague. As senior member at B level, he had been valued for his good sense, his clear and precise remarks which were always to the point, and he wished him good fortune in his new post. The Deputy Secretary General associated himself with the Chairman's remarks. Mr. Meincke thanked the Chairman and his colleagues. He had spent four and a half years in Strasbourg and had greatly enjoyed both the atmosphere and his work with the Council of Europe. He was sad to leave Strasbourg but had the consolation of going to the Netherlands, the country where he was born and where he had many friends. The Chairman asked the Representative of Ireland to convey the congratulations of his Minister, Mr. Freitas Cruz, and of the Committee to his new Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Brian Lenihan. He also asked the Representative of Ireland to thank Mr. M. O'Kennedy, ex-Minister for Foreign Affairs, for his active participation in the work of the Committee. He would still have an indirect connection with the Council of Europe, as he now performed the duties of Minister of Finance, whose decisions - as had been seen during discussions on the budget - had a considerable impact on the Council's work.
