Abstract: Within the class of Derezi{'n}ski-Enss pair-potentials which includes Coulomb potentials a stationary scattering theory for $N$-body systems was recently developed cite {Sk3}. In particular the wave and scattering matrices as well as the restricted wave operators are all defined at any non-threshold energy, and this holds without imposing any a priori decay condition of channel eigenstates. In this paper we improve on the weak continuity statements for the case of $3$-body systems in that we show that all non-threshold energies are stationary complete in this case, resolving a conjecture from cite {Sk3} in the special case $N=3$. A consequence is that the above scattering quantities depend strongly continuously on the energy parameter at non-threshold energies, whence not only almost everywhere as previously demonstrated (for an arbitrary $N$). Another consequence is that the scattering matrix is unitary at any such energy. As a side result we give an independent and essentially stationary proof of asymptotic completeness for $3$-body long-range systems, whence being an alternative to the known time-dependent proofs cite{De, En}.
