Use of Commonage Lands: Discussion (Resumed) with UFA and IFA

Mr. John Bryan:

The Presidency document that went up on the website, on Monday a week ago, I believe, contains the French , German and British proposals and the Minister's proposal for approximation, which I am sure he explained to the committee in great detail. These were all in the Presidency proposals put forward to the Council of Ministers yesterday. They met a mixed reaction. I was in Brussels yesterday and spoke to some delegates from other countries. There are different views.
