Article  17 of  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  2052/88  of  24 June  1988,  as  most 
recently  amended  by  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  3193/94  of  19  December 
1994,  on  the  tasks  of  the  Structural  Funds  and  their  effectiveness  and  on 
coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the 
European Investment Bank and the other existing financial  instruments, states that 
the Commission shall be assisted in respect of Objectives  3 and 4 by a Committee 
pursuant  to Article  124 of the Treaty. 

The  provisions  relating  to the  organisation  and  tasks  of  this  Committee  are  laid 
down  in  the  implementing  regulations,  principally  in  Article  28  of  Council 
Regulation  (EEC)  No  4253/88,  as  amended  by  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No 
3193/94  of  19 December  1994,  concerning  coordination  of  the  activities  of  the 
different  Structural  Funds  between  themselves  and  with  the  operations  of  the 
European  Investment  Bank  and  the other  existing  financial  instruments. 

The  said  Article  provides  that  the  Committee  shall  be  composed  of  two 
government  representatives, two representatives of the workers' organisations and 
two representatives of the employers' organisations from  each Member State. The 
members  and  alternates are appointed  by the Council, acting  on a proposal  from 
the Commission,  for  a period  of three years. 

The Council  decided, on 23 October  1995, to appoint the members  and  alternate 
members  of  the  European  Social  Fund  Committee,  on  a  proposal  from  the 
Commission,  for  the period  from  23 October  1995 to 22 October  1998. 

Following the resignation of a member and an alternate member, the Commission
