Recommendation 367 of the WEU Assembly on talks on the reduction of long-range theatre nuclear forces in Europe (Paris, 16 May 1981)
Text On 16 May 1981, following the deployment of SS-20 missiles by the Soviet Union, the Assembly of Western European Union (WEU) adopts Recommendation 367 on talks on the reduction of long-range theatre nuclear forces in Europe. The Assembly recommends that the WEU Council should urge the North Atlantic Council to ensure that the negotiations on strategic arms limitation are resumed and to call for the continued respect of the SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) agreements and the ABM (anti-ballistic missile) Treaty. The Assembly would also like an objective and comparable assessment of the nuclear balance.
