	Austrian Parliament Passes Lubicon Resolution
		The Austrian Government is asked -- in considering international customs in dealing with befriended countries-- to use its influence with the Canadian authorities, that negotiations between the Lubicon Cree Indians and the Canadian Federal Government may quickly lead to a mutually satisfactory settlement concerning the land claim, the resources and compensation payment.
		Various forms of the Austrian resolution have been discussed by the Foreign Policy Committee of the Austrian Parliament for some time to the great and growing distress of the Canadian Government which clearly doesn't like international attention to focus on systematic denial of the human and aboriginal rights of Canada's aboriginal people.
		The Austrian Parliament yesterday passed a resolution requesting that the Austrian government use its influence with Canadian authorities to help find a solution to the Lubicon land claim dispute with the Canadian government.

	Government Response: Austria: Visit 19/09/1999 - 30/09/1999
		The Austrian Government has requested the publication of the CPT's report on the visit to Austria from 19 to 30 September 1999 (see CPT/Inf (2001) 8) and of its response.
		The average committal period in cases of custody pending deportation in Austria is 20 days. Jobs in workshops which require further training do for that reason not appear to be very sensible. In the police jails of the Vienna Federal Police Directorate there are at present 52 “work places”, these are domestic worker functions.
		Notwithstanding the impression described above, the trial use for the Federal provinces of Vienna, Upper Austria and Tyrol was extended to the end of January 2001. Expansion of this project to the Security Directorates, other Federal Police Directorates and Provincial Gendarmerie Commands is under discussion.

		In accordance with the structure of the Austrian state, a distinction is made between the Federal Government and the individual Länder, with most social and economic policy issues falling within the purview of the Federal Government's legislative powers.
		On the employees' side these are the Austrian Trade Union Federation (ÖGB) and the Federal Chamber of Labour (BAK), and on the employers' side the Economic Chamber of Austria (WKÖ), the Standing Committee of Presidents of the Chambers of Agriculture (PKLWK) and the Federation of Austrian Industry (VÖI).
		Based on close voluntary co-operation between employers, employees and the state, it constitutes the specifically Austrian manifestation of the system of reconciling interests which in the social sciences is called corporatism.

		The Austrian constitution was modified in 1995, giving the parliament extremely far-reaching controlling powers.
		Since the Austrian parliament receives such a plethora and number of EU-documents without any prior selection it is harder for members of the Austrian parliament to notice if an important document is missing.
		Prior to describing the institutional framework in European decision-making it has to be pointed out that the Austrian parliament consists of two chambers: the directly elected Nationalrat and the indirectly legitimised Bundesrat, which is made up of representatives of the Länder.

	Social democrats win Chamber of Labour elections
		In the Austrian "social partnership" system, the Federal Chamber of Labour (Bundesarbeitskammer, BAK) and its regional organisations in the nine federal states (Länder), the Chambers of Labour (Arbeiterkammern, AK s) represent labour - along with the Austrian Trade Union Federation (Österreichischer Gewerkschaftsbund, ÖGB) (AT0004218F).
		Since most employees surveyed expect a worsening of their personal situation in respect of pensions and social insurance in the event of illness, accidents and unemployment, the outcome of the AK election seems to reflect a widespread opposition to the government's initiatives.
		The results of the elections are generally regarded as a signal of opposition to the centre-right government coalition and its reform policies.

	LS-974: TREASURY DEPUTY SECRETARY STUART E. EIZENSTAT REMARKS AT CEREMONY WITH AUSTRIAN PRESIDENT KLESTIL VIENNA, AUSTRIA
		It is important for the Austrian people to know that they and their government are helping a group of World War II survivors -- almost all of whom are non-Jews -- who have lived behind the Iron curtain, or who otherwise have received little or no postwar benefit from any country.
		It will be important for the Austrian Government and Austrian enterprises to keep in mind the moral dimension as we begin the property negotiations, in the same way as they have done so forthrightly in the labor negotiations.
		We should all recognize that Chancellor Schuessel and the Austrian Government are providing that leadership and parliamentary President Hans Fischer and all the parliamentary leaders of the major parties are doing likewise - an extraordinary effort at bi-partisanship.

		Some members of the government, such as Austrian prime minister Count Belcredi, advised the Emperor to make a more comprehensive constitutional deal with all of the nationalities that would have created a federal structure.
		Although the unified government determined overall military direction, the Austrian and Hungarian governments each remained in charge of "the quota of recruits, legislation concerning compulsory military service, transfer and provision of the armed forces, and regulation of the civic, non-military affairs of members of the armed forces".
		On one notable occasion, that of the so-called "ordinance of April 5, 1897", the Austrian Prime Minister Kasimir Felix Graf Badeni gave Czech equal standing with German in the internal government of Bohemia, leading to a crisis because of nationalist German agitation throughout the Empire.

		The Austrian criminal code and code of criminal procedure were riddled with Nazi amendments between 1938 and 1945 after the Anschluss, but each code was restored to its 1938 status when the country regained independence.

		In September 1999, the federal government seized it and commenced forfeiture proceedings to confiscate it, saying that it was stolen by a Nazi from Lea Bondi in Austria in 1939, and illegally imported into the United States by the Leopold with knowledge that it was stolen.
		In any event, says the Leopold, the US Act of State Doctrine bars any US court "from adjudicating the acts of the Austrian Government taken within its sovereign territory after World War II."
		Bondi's heirs are further arguing that as a state agency, the Belvedere was obligated to take control of Nazi-confiscated property and have it returned to its owners, under the Austrian State Treaty of 1955.

		The three anti-fascist parties, the Socialist Party of Austria (SPÖ), renamed Social Democrats in 1991, the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP - Christian Democrats) and the Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) agreed on the formation of a provisional government headed by Karl Renner which proclaimed Austria's independence.

		However, in the course of his two terms of office, Klestil's alienation from his own party became increasingly obvious, so much so that there was open antagonism between Federal Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel and Klestil when, in 2000, the latter had to swear in the newly formed coalition government with Jörg Haider's Austrian Freedom Party.
		Klestil, who during his election campaign had vowed to be an "active" president, repeatedly criticized the Austrian government and, in an interview with a Swiss daily given in 2003, stated that, theoretically speaking, it was in his power to dismiss the government any time he found it necessary to do so.
		Fluent in English, Klestil was the Austrian Ambassador to the United Nations (1978–1982) and Ambassador to the United States (1982–1987) prior to his election as president.
