      vii. - Relations with the Inter-parliamentary Union

      Memorandum on co-operation between the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the Inter-Parliamentary Union See Doc. 6825, paragraph 32. (11 May 1993)
      In view of the common concerns and complementarity of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, assembly of representatives of Europe’s parliamentary democracies, and the Inter-Parliamentary Union, focal point for parliamentary dialogue at the world-wide level, the two institutions agree on the following:
      A. Reciprocal representation
      Statutory meetings: The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the Inter-Parliamentary Union will invite each other to be represented at their respective statutory plenary meetings. To this end, the Parliamentary Assembly will be able to participate in meetings organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union as an Associate Member subject to the payment of a yearly fee in accordance with the applicable scale. For its part, the Inter-Parliamentary Union will be able to observe the meetings of the Parliamentary Assembly. The President of the Inter-Parliamentary Council will be invited, at appropriate intervals, to address the Parliamentary Assembly.
      Ad hoc meetings: Unless otherwise provided below, the same arrangements will apply to ad hoc meetings (conferences, symposia and other events) organised by the Parliamentary Assembly and the Inter-Parliamentary Union in areas of common concern.
      B. Joint activities
      Based on their respective mandates, the Parliamentary Assembly and the Inter-Parliamentary Union may jointly organise, or associate their respective organisations in, specific events which fall in areas of common concern, particularly those of parliamentary democracy and human rights.
      C. Working arrangements
      The Parliamentary Assembly and the Inter-Parliamentary Union will exchange official documentation, including orders of business of statutory meetings, memoranda, resolutions and recommendations, on a regular basis. Documents of mutual interest may be sent to members of the two organisations. When appropriate, IPU may submit a written communication on a subject under consideration by the Parliamentary Assembly. Officials of the Parliamentary Assembly and Inter-Parliamentary Union Secretariats will meet for consultations at suitable intervals to strengthen the co-operation between the two organisations and enhance co-ordination with a view to avoiding duplication of their respective activities.
