Increase in the Number of Council Seats 1

13.

14. The Council heard the following points and transmitted them to the committees for consideration:

  1. The Council should be increased by 5 seats, one each for the Regions of Africa, Asia and the Far East, Near East and Latin America, and one for Europe;

  2. The additional seat for Asia and the Far East should be exclusive of the question of the People's Republic of China, which, once a FAO Member Nation, would place in that Region more than 50 per cent of the world's population;

  4. The managerial implications of a larger Council should be faced, and the possibility of a smaller Executive Committee considered, which might meet in the intervals between Council Sessions;
