Secretary-General’s note for the meeting of the seven Foreign Ministers on 18 December (14 December 1954)

Text
On 14 December 1954, the Secretary-General of Western European Union (WEU) circulates a note drafted by the Interim Commission for the meeting at ministerial level scheduled for 18 December (document IWG/20). Following the previous discussions (documents IWG/8 and IWG/10), the Commission has adopted the principle that no organisation or non-member country should be systematically represented within the Council or its subsidiary bodies. Moreover, in order to promote cooperation between WEU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), the Commission suggests that contact should be established between the Secretaries-General of WEU and NATO and that a NATO observer should be invited whenever the WEU Council considers it appropriate.
