| Editorial comments: | No formal minutes are supposed to be kept by the Council itself, although an informal “proces-verbal” may exist in the archive of the European Council in Brussels. A covering note explaining something of the composition follows the text, including an annotation by David Hannay describing himself as strick by pusillanimity and hostility of the Italians - Craxi and Andreotti at their first European Council.
