Editorial comments:	The original document will surely makes its way to TNA, but is not available presently (Jun 2015). The record is significantly fuller than those kept by the FCO for other European Councils, particularly in giving accounts of bilaterals and discussions between Foreign Ministers. No formal minutes are supposed to be kept by the Council itself, although an informal “proces-verbal” may exist in the archvie of the European Council in Brussels.
