On 4 November 1981, the Secretary-General of Western European Union (WEU) circulates a revised draft reply by the WEU Council to Assembly Recommendation 371 on European security and events in the Gulf area. The revised document is the result of an initial British reply followed by various amendments. Most of the French and British amendments are taken up in the final version. The delegations that have not already done so are requested to notify their formal approval of this text by sending a letter to the Secretariat-General.
