Telegram from Jean Chauvel to Christian Pineau on cooperation between France, Germany and Italy in the field of arms production (London, 12 February 1958)

Text
Following the meeting of the Council of Western European Union (WEU) on 12 February 1958, Jean Chauvel, French Ambassador to London, sends a telegram to French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau in which he informs him of the discussions on cooperation between France, Germany and Italy in the field of arms production. He particularly mentions the questions put by the British representative, Sir Anthony Rumbold, who was keen to know whether there had been other official agreements signed by the three governments, which arms were covered by the tripartite agreement and how other countries might become involved in this cooperation. Sir Anthony Rumbold also suggests that copies of all bilateral agreements should be sent to WEU.
