On 20 May 1959, the Spanish Embassy to Rome sends a memorandum on the meetings held in Paris between the Spanish delegation and the Mission of the International Monetary Fund and the Representative of the Secretariat of the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC). The letter emphasises Spain’s interest in the OEEC’s programme for economic stabilisation and financial and technical assistance, in connection with the country’s application for accession as a full member of the Organisation.
