Interview with Philippe de Schoutheete (Brussels, 4 March 2010) — Excerpt: European views on General de Gaulle
Video In this interview excerpt, Philippe de Schoutheete, Honorary Belgian Ambassador and economic attaché in Paris from 1958 to 1961, recalls the unfounded fears, particularly in Belgium, regarding the future of the Rome Treaties following the return of General de Gaulle, whose intergovernmental views, embodied in the 1961 and 1962 Fouchet Plans, were opposed to the more supranational views of Jean Monnet that were advocated by other Member States. Philippe de Schoutheete also discusses the reasons for France’s opposition to the United Kingdom’s first application for accession.
