1. Austria: Central Government
In view of the decision of the Allied Council for Austria regarding the Conference of Austrian provincial representatives, the Council decided that no further action on their part was necessary at this stage.
2. Reparations From Germany
The Inter-Allied Reparations Commission should be transferred from Moscow to Berlin.
The Allied Control Council for Germany should be instructed to speed up, with the assistance of the Reparations Commission, the work of drawing up a Reparations Programme—in particular the programme for advanced deliveries—so as to ensure accurate observance of the time-limit set for this by the Berlin Conference.
Discussion of the proposals as regards restitution put forward in the memorandum by the French Delegation (C.F.M.(45) 3824) should be resumed at the next meeting of the Council.
