The aim of the meeting is to find a solution to the ‘empty chair’ crisis, which has been paralysing Community operations for six months. The photo shows Christian Calmes (on the right), Secretary-General of the Council, speaking to chairman Pierre Werner (on the left). On 29 January 1966, a compromise is eventually reached, breaking the deadlock in the Community institutions.
