Remarks by the UK Representative to NATO (Mr George Thomson) to the North Atlantic Council

15 Feb 1967
Description: This statement provides the opinion and suggestions of the UK delegation to NATO regarding the implementation of the resolution on Future Tasks of the Alliance. While agreeing with the substance and procedure proposed by Pierre Harmel and NATO Secretary-General Manlio Brosio, it advises against excessive separation of the action phase from the analysis phase. Given that the existence and nature of NATO are not questioned, the author emphasizes that the main purpose of the study should be to identify the most important political and military tasks. He further recommends establishing a special group consisting of permanent representatives.
