Draft reply by the WEU Council to question 146 put by a member of the Assembly on political consultations between Western Europe and the United States (London, 6 September 1974)

Texte
On 6 September 1974, the Secretary-General of Western European Union (WEU) circulates the draft reply prepared by the Belgian delegation and amended by the French and United Kingdom delegations to question 146 put to the WEU Council by Sir John Rodgers, a member of the Assembly. The member asks whether the Council considers it desirable to establish permanent political consultations between Western Europe and the United States. The French emphasise that the question of consultations is an important point which has been discussed by the nine Member States of the European Communities in connection with their foreign policy cooperation. They refer to paragraph 11 of the Declaration on Atlantic Relations (the Ottawa Declaration), signed in June 1974 by the Member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), which lays down the scope and spirit of these consultations. The British note that there are other existing multilateral channels for this type of consultation, for example the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). They therefore do not see the need to establish additional permanent political consultations.
