| Interpretation of the source | 1957, the signing of the Common Market and the Euratom treaties have produced a wave of satisfaction in the European press, even in England. England realizes that it would be interesting to make part of the Common Market. That will allow England to increase its national production. England could also easily sell its products in a wide free trade zone. |
