Recommendation 374 of the WEU Assembly on the reappraisal of global dangers to western peace and security (Paris, 2 December 1981)

Text
On 2 December 1981, the Assembly of Western European Union (WEU) adopts Recommendation 374 on the reappraisal of global dangers to western peace and security. It notes that peace is seriously jeopardised by the accumulation in Europe of Soviet conventional and nuclear arms which the Atlantic Alliance does not have the means of countering. It recommends that the Council promote by all means at its disposal the re-establishment of the balance of military forces between East and West. It also calls for an examination of the action to be taken on the study conducted by the Standing Armaments Committee concerning European armaments industries, with a view to optimising military investment expenditure in the member countries. Finally, the Assembly recommends that the Council should urge the North Atlantic Council to hold consultations in the event of a crisis outside Europe.
