Recommendation 383 of the WEU Assembly on the problem of nuclear weapons in Europe (Paris, 16 June 1982)

Text
On 16 June 1982, as the Euromissiles crisis unfolds, the Assembly of Western European Union (WEU) adopts Recommendation 383 on the problem of nuclear weapons in Europe. Noting that the Soviet Union has a disturbing superiority in heavy intercontinental missiles and intermediate-range forces, the Assembly recommends that the WEU Council should call on the North Atlantic Council to press for an agreement on the zero option in the INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces) talks. But it advises continuing with preparations for the possible deployment from 1983 of cruise and Pershing II missiles in Western Europe.
