French note on the plans for those units of the forces of the WEU countries which are under NATO command (London, 30 May 1956)

Text
On 30 may 1956, the Secretary-General circulates a note presented by the French delegation. This note is a draft resolution on the level of forces of the seven Western European Union (WEU) powers under the command of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). The draft resolution suggests the following procedure: given the Council’s responsibilities on this matter, the Council would invite the WEU Member States to instruct their permanent representatives to NATO to meet during the NATO annual review to determine whether their level of forces is in compliance with the limits set by Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol II on the forces of Western European Union and to report on this matter to the WEU Council, which would take a unanimous decision on the possibility of increasing force levels.
