On 28 June 1956, Charles Cristofini, Deputy Secretary-General of Western European Union (WEU), sends Louis Goffin, WEU Secretary-General, a summary report on relations between the Standing Armaments Committee (SAC) and the regional groups FINABEL and FINBAIR. This report follows the resolution adopted by the chiefs of staff of the armies of some WEU countries, which had asked their governments to submit the question to the Council of Ministers. The report provides a contextual framework and suggests a range of solutions to govern the SAC’s relations with the regional groups FINABEL and FINBAIR.
