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.
