In February, the European Parliament established a temporary committee to "study the impact of the German unification process on the European Community." Alan John Donnelly (UK, S) is designated as rapporteur at the first meeting on 1 March 1990. Gerardo Fernández-Albor (SP, EPP) was the President of the committee and as Vice-President were designated Simone Veil (FR, LDR) and Kirsten Jensen (DK, S).
