Description of the source | Newspaper article in English from the Times newspaper. Newspaper accessed from microfiche archives held in library available for public use. Copyright remains with the Times. |
Contextualisation of the source | The Times is regarded as a conservative newspaper. Reports on the EEC and it’s foundation, through the Treaty of Rome, appeared in March 1957 with further reports regarding British involvement appearing later in the year. British fears were expressed in a number of articles before and after the Treaty of Rome. |
Interpretation of the source | This provides a straightforward account of the details of a meeting to be held in Paris regarding the creation of a free trade market, to be chaired by Mr Reginald Maudling the Pay-master General. This suggests that there are still considerable doubts about the creation of such an area.
