The Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity, meeting in its Twenty Third Ordinary Session in Mogadiscio, Somalia, from 6 – 11 June, 1974,

TAKING NOTE of the progress report of the Administrative Secretary General on the activities of the AFCAC,

AWARE that the programmes and activities of the OAU and AFCAC are complementary,

DESIROUS of ensuring that AFCAC is independent in its work,

1. DECIDES that the African Civil Aviation commission be an organ of the commission of the OAU and responsible to it;

2. WHILE CONTINUING to use the services of the ICAO the AFCAC should immediately be independent of ICAO;

3. REQUESTS the OAU Advisory Committee on Budgetary and Financial Matters to provide ways and means to the Secretariat to enable it to implement this resolution in spite of the fact that no appropriations for this task had been foreseen in the 1974/75 OAU Financial Year;
