!!!Pariser Abkommen

Paris Agreement (Gruber-De Gasperi Agreement), a bilateral agreement 
signed by the Austrian and Italian ministers of foreign affairs K.  
Gruber and A. De Gasperi, on September 5, 1946. In this agreement the 
protection of the German-speaking minority in Italy was guaranteed. It 
became the annex to the peace treaty of 1947 with Italy and formed the 
legal basis for the Austrian Ministry for Foreign Affairs to safeguard 
the rights and interests of the German-speaking population of  South 
Tyrol. The Paris Agreement provided for equal rights for the 
German-speaking and the Italian-speaking population, it granted the 
region local and autonomous legislative and executive powers, and 
Austria was accepted as the protecting power. In 1948 the autonomy 
which had been promised to South Tirol was granted to the newly formed 
region "Trentino-South Tirol" instead, which had an 
Italian-speaking majority. This resulted in conflicts between Austria 
and Italy over the German-speaking and Ladin-speaking minorities. In 
1959 Austria took legal action against Italy before the United 
Nations. The main issues of the conflict were solved in the  South 
Tyrol Package.
