The Committee of European Economic Co-operation was a joint European conference convened to assess postwar economic recovery needs and coordinate the implementation of the Marshall Plan across Europe. It was established on July 12, 1947, and dissolved on September 22, 1947, with sixteen participating states, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom, while the Soviet Union and its allied states declined to take part. Its September 1947 report requested 22.4 billion dollars in aid over four years to restore European economies, and the committee's work led directly to the creation of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation on April 16, 1948, the forerunner of today's OECD.
