The European Parliament for a UN Parliament

On 26 March 1999 the European Parliament passed a resolution on UN reform, proposed by Enrico De Melo, the Portuguese member of the European People’s Party. It is noteworthy that the resolution recommends "the introduction of a parliamentary dimension in the UN system". Even though the passage echoes the WFM proposal for the creation of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA), it is to be regretted that the European Parliament will not take any initiative to carry out this design (l.l.).
