Spain has applied for readmission to CERN. The Director General, Herwig Schopper, and the President of the CERN Council, Sir Alec Merrison, have been authorized to negotiate the conditions for Spain’s readmission. Spain had been a member nation from 1961 to 1968, when it resigned, saying it could not afford its share of the CERN budget, which was increasing linearly to support the construction of the Super Proton Synchrotron. The CERN budget is now flat (corrected for inflation) for the next four years while LEP is being constructed. (LEP is the acronym for the Large Electron–Positron colliding‐beam device).
