The council would meet at least
once a year and debate mutual
problems, including the doing
away with customs restrictions and
passports between the countries;
streamlining laws dealing with ma

police and other civil services. and
broadening labor laws and labor

known, indications are that it has
not been dropped. Once ratifica-
