Minutes of the first meeting of the WEU Council (London, 14 June 1955)

Text
On 7 May 1955, the first meeting of the Council of Western European Union (WEU) is held at the British Embassy in Paris. Harold Macmillan, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and chairman of the meeting, expresses his hopes for the new Union. His French counterpart, Antoine Pinay, welcomes the accession of Western Germany and Italy to the organisation and emphasises the importance of the undertaking by the United Kingdom to maintain troops on the European continent and to delegate some powers to an international organisation for the first time. The minutes of the meeting outline the appointments to the posts of President of the WEU Council, Secretary-General, Deputy Secretaries-General and Director of the Agency for the Control of Armaments (ACA), and summarise the discussions on the approval of the draft decision for the establishment of a Standing Armaments Committee (SAC) and the organisation of the WEU Assembly.
