Report on the activities of the Standing Armaments Committee and Decision on the establishment of the SAC (1 July 1982)

Text
On 1 July 1982, the International Secretariat of the Standing Armaments Committee (SAC) circulates a report on the SAC’s activities. The secretariat concludes that, after 25 years in operation, the SAC has gradually established its scope of action. The SAC’s vocation for European cooperation is based on its summary reports. Its flexible procedures and freedom of debate can make it a privileged forum for cooperation. It is important to recognise that there has hitherto been insufficient cooperation in the field of armaments and more generally in the field of defence, and the SAC could represent a solution in this area for the European governments.
