France and Partners Clash Over Market Veto Rights
In Luxembourg today France and five other European Community members argued over veto rights within the Common Market. Paris seeks to preserve veto power while others push for majority voting in some cases. The dispute paused then resumed as ministers reviewed a French memo to limit the European Commission's power. The six members plan to merge the market body with the European Coal and Steel Community and Euratom, with France seeking strict limits and individual member vetoes on key decisions. Walter Hallstein, German head of the commission, faces French opposition amid De Gaulle's broader power concerns. The group later pressed for stronger influence over the joint body's composition and authority.
