6 -3 3.) Superfluous or unknown associations could be dissolved by the secret state police. The undersigned pointed out that, according to his knowledge, the stake in the Protectorate does not have such powers in sight, since it itself is at Pg. He also called on the Commission to take the necessary steps to ensure that the measures taken by the Member States are implemented in accordance with the principles laid down in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community. Apart from that, the secret state police could only intervene in such organizations which were somehow anti-state, state hostility could not be subordinated with the best will to many superfluous Ürganisations, e.g. associations of society, associations of goats, etc. 4.) The standstill commissioner intended to create a czech roof orgunisation, which was completely absurd. The undersigned stated that the Commissioner for the Administration had never had such an intention, on the contrary, to combat such endeavours by all means; however, the fact was that, according to Mr. St an o v s k y , mill owner from Neutitschein, who intended the creation of such an umbrella association, the competent speaker in the Ministry of the Interior, Mr. Governing Council of E s s e n, should have told him that there was nothing to object in principle to such a summary to a Czech umbrella association. Mr S tanovsk y received the same opinion from two government councils at the government in Troppau.
