Draft reply to Assembly Recommendation 118 on the joint production of armaments (27 September 1965)

Text
On 27 September 1965, the Secretary-General of Western European Union (WEU) circulates a draft reply by the British delegation to the WEU Assembly Recommendation on the joint production of armaments. The Council considers that industrial collaboration should be encouraged and promoted where possible. The introduction of a financial compensation system to indemnify countries or industries that might suffer losses through the adoption of common weapons is deemed impracticable, and such situations should therefore be avoided.
