Anglo-French cultural ties, 1971
| France had been responsible for vetoing Britain's first two applications
to join the EEC. As Britain prepared her third application, Prime
Minister Edward Heath was anxious not to offend French pride. Here
he reassures President Pompidou that French will remain the working
language of the Community, and proposes increased cultural exchanges
between Britain and France. Catalogue reference: FCO 26/859 (27 May 1971) |
