Abstract

As a result of certain decisions of the North Atlantic Council, the five Brussels treaty powers met in Brussels on December 20 to effect the immediate merging of the Western Union defense organization with that of the North Atlantic Treaty nations. It was decided that the Brussels Pact board of production and supply would be incorporated with the production board of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The defense forces of the Brussels Pact organization were to form the nucleus in the administration and personnel of the enlarged and unified North Atlantic defense organization. However, a statement issued by the Consultative Council of Western Powers revealed that the Brussels Pact organization would not be abolished and that the merger with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization “would in no way affect the obligations which the five countries have undertaken by virtue of the Brussels Treaty.”
