12.
CONFIDENTIAL
SCHEER (WITH MY SUPPORT), CALLED FOR THE CIRCULATION OF THE
ARTICLE 31 EXPERTS' REPORT. I ALSO EMPHASISED THAT PART OF THE
PROBLEM WAS THAT CERTAIN MEMBER STATES WERE BEING FORCED BY
UNDERSTANDABLE POLITICAL PRESSURES TO TAKE A LESS THAN SCIENTIFIC
APPROACH TO SETTING THE NORMS. SO NEITHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT
SHOULD CHARGE THE OTHER WITH BEING UNCOMMUNAUTAIRE. RUTTEN
RE-EMPHASISED THAT THE ONLY PROSPECT FOR AGREEMENT THIS WEEK WAS ON
THE BASIS OF THE PRESIDENCY COMPROMISE.
