Younger Members' News
"If it's Tuesday i t
must b e Luxembourg"
Some o f th e Younger Members
have just returned from a most
informative and enlightening tour of
the EC institutions where they saw
the machinery o f the EC in action.
The visit included a trip to Brussels
and th e European Commission,
where Mr . Ray McSharry pu t in a
brief appearance. Th e tour also
covered th e European Court an d
the Court o f Auditors, both o f
which are situated in Luxembourg
and then proceeded t o th e
European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Travel wa s by bu s an d proved
quite tiring. However, the time was
spent ingesting some o f the reams
(or Reims?) o f informative docu-
mentation obtained at each stop. All
rose to the rigorous demands of the
trip with great enthusiasm.
