On 3 November 1970, at the 405th meeting of the Council of Western European Union (WEU) in Luxembourg, the General Affairs Committee reviews questions from Members of the WEU Assembly, including the question put by Lord Gladwyn of the United Kingdom. Lord Gladwyn asked the Council whether it agreed that arms deliveries by WEU member countries to the Middle East should be organised in accordance with a plan acceptable to the Council as a whole. The German Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to London, Karl-Günther von Hase, says that the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) has abstained from making any arms deliveries in this region, while his French counterpart, Ambassador Geoffroy Chodron de Courcel, explains that France has proclaimed an embargo on arms supplies to all the countries in the battle area since the Six-Day War.
