On 13 February 1975, the Standing Armaments Committee (SAC) circulates a note on the dissolution of the ad hoc group and the link between the SAC and Finabel, as well as the future prospects for Finabel’s work following the United Kingdom’s accession to it in 1973. The plan for 1975 is to shift Finabel’s focus to long-term studies with the aim of widening the debates on cooperation between weapons-producing countries before these countries undertake individual commitments.
