The Technical Committee of the European Civil Aviation Conference

European co‐operation at all levels of political, economic, technical and social life has been and will continue to be a talking point for many years. In some cases there have been major achievements in co‐operative effort, in others there have been abysmal failures but for the most part the talking still goes on. In the field of civil aviation it is difficult to recognise national frontiers and although this has been acknowledged in the evolution of world standards and procedures through the medium of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, Europe has some very particular problems which need more detailed attention than can be effected at the ICAO level. This need can only be fulfilled by co‐operative effort and goodwill on the part of all the European States.
