ABSTRACT
The creation of an Assistance Coordination Council (ACC) under the chairmanship of the European Community (EC) Commission not only enhance and strengthen the coordination efforts of the G-24, but also widen and deepen all efforts to coordinate assistance to transition. The ACC would act as a representative body and would perform a management function similar to that carried out by the Organization for European Economic Cooperation in implementing the Marshall Plan. In helping the ACC in its coordination efforts, the experience and expertise of other international institutions could be valuable. The creation of the ACC and the resulting enhancement of the role of the G-24 Coordination Unit should be of benefit to the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, Hungary and Poland, and to all other post-communist European states as well. Small additional funding from the EC Commission’s budget is required to cover the cost of the Secretariat of the ACC.
