French Action Could Destroy Economic Union
BRUSSELS — (UPI) — France forced a showdown today on Britain's bid for membership in the Common Market, bringing the economic union close to a possible collapse.
"We think the six are wasting their time," he added, underscoring President Charles de Gaulle's adamant stand that Britain cannot be admitted under any set of special conditions to protect its own agriculture and its commonwealth trade relations.
France called a secret meeting of the six member nations which went into session at 10:30 a.m. A French spokesman said the closed session would consider whether "there is any future in the negotiations and the possibility of continuing them."
The situation was grave for, although conference sources said there were no plans for breaking off the 17-month-old talks on Britain's entry, there is talk of adjourning them. Observers said this would amount to a breakdown.
