France withdraws from Common Market session in Brussels
In Brussels, Paris ordered a withdrawal of French experts from the two working committees as tensions rose over farm policy. De Gaulle rebuked the Common Market for failing to settle farm issues, while officials speculated the move aimed to pressure concessions. France reportedly discussed resigning its permanent representative Boegner, though Paris denied the claim. The dispute centers on compensation for farmers under unified agricultural policy and whether to empower the executive commission and Strasbourg Assembly, a view France opposes as undermining sovereignty. The French step was said to be temporary with no clear end date for the boycott.
