Recommendation 85 of the WEU Assembly on standardisation and interdependence in the production of armaments (Paris, 4 December 1962)

Text
On 4 December 1962, given the economic and military issues surrounding armaments standardisation, the Assembly of Western European Union (WEU) adopts Recommendation 85 on standardisation and interdependence in the production of armaments. The Assembly asks the Council to take measures for the creation of a European armaments production pool in anticipation of the United Kingdom’s accession to the European Economic Community. The Assembly also emphasises that the Member States of the Council should base their forward planning of armaments production on the principle that the manufacture of complicated and costly modern weapons can be carried out economically and efficiently only within an international framework.
