The European Economic Community (EEC), in a statement made on its behalf by Piero Vinci of Italy at the General Assembly debate yesterday on the Palestinian question, said that the EEC members continued to insist on the necessity to carry out Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 for an overall solution of the Middle East conflict.
But Vinci said the EEC regarded the Palestinian problem as among the essential aspects of the dispute. The statement also said that the EEC members considered that a peace settlement should take into account the national rights of the Palestinian people and respect the right of Israel to exist within secure and recognized borders on an equal footing with the other states of the region.
