‘The Common Market: As yet, we have only the wrapping paper.’ On 19 January 1957, in the French daily newspaper Le Figaro, the cartoonist, Sennep, illustrates the debates being held in the French National Assembly on the proposed Common Market and takes an ironic look at the lack of substance of the arguments put forward by Guy Mollet, French Prime Minister.
