On 20 July 1967, as discussions are held concerning a draft report drawn up by the Secretariat-General of Western European Union (WEU) and reviewed in the WEU Council on relations between the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and WEU, the French Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Geoffroy Chodron de Courcel, informs the French Foreign Ministry of the progress of the discussions. The Ambassador explains that he has rejected the conclusions by the British delegate, Lord Hood, on the need to adapt the Council’s role in the control procedure for armaments levels and also the British arguments about how the French withdrawal from the NATO integrated command structure has led to a weakening of WEU and NATO. Geoffroy Chodron de Courcel notes that he has suggested that France might make a unilateral statement confirming that it will continue to comply with the ceilings of French units stationed in Germany. This contribution to the discussion was well received by the delegations.
