26/02/2002 (Agence Europe) - The President of the joint EP/Czech Parliament Committee, Ursula Stenzel, has welcomed Elmar Brok's initiative concerning the Benes Decrees (see yesterday's EUROPE, p.13 on the rumpus caused by Vaclav Klaus' demand for there to be a clause in the Accession Treaty confirming the laws on deporting and expropriating Sudeten Germans and Hungarians). The President of the EP's Foreign Affairs Committee called for a legal study on the current impact of the Decrees.
