Note from the United Kingdom delegate on interdependence in research, development and production (Paris, 11 April 1958)

Text
On 11 April 1958, the Assistant Secretary-General of the Standing Armaments Committee (SAC) circulates a note from the United Kingdom delegate on interdependence in research, development and production. The United Kingdom representative emphasises, however, that this policy statement, drawn up by officials in the Ministry of Defence, does not represent formal proposals by the British Government. The note sets out the principles that should govern cooperation between Member States: they should aim to increase the European production base through research and development, conclude agreements on cooperation over specific items of equipment, consult other Member States concerned before funding any developments that compete with the cooperation project in which they are involved and, finally, pay any other Member States for facilities, design information or finished products transferred.
