11 Just as the British-Soviet Treaty of 1942, the French-Soviet Treaty of Dec. 10, 1944, concluded for twenty years by the provisional regime of General Charles de Gaulle, and the British-French Treaty of Dunkirk of 1947.

13 As detailed in Annex II to Art. 107 of the EDC Treaty.

14 Namely, long-range missiles, guided missiles and influence mines, naval vessels other than minor defensive craft, and military aircraft. Any amendments as to these weapons can, on the request of West Germany, be carried out by a two-thirds majority of the Brussels Council of Ministers, if a request to this effect is made to NATO.

15 A Director, a Deputy Director and a staff, drawn equitably from nationals of the Brussels Treaty Powers. The Director shall submit to the Council a plan for the organization of the Agency. The Agency will have departments for its different tasks: departments dealing with the examination of statistical and budgetary information, inspection, test checks, and administration.

16 All deployment of troops shall be in accordance with NATO strategy; the location of forces is to be determined by SACEUK after consultation with the national authorities concerned; these forces shall not be redeployed or used operationally without the consent of SACEUB. The integration of forces will, as a rule, remain at Army Group and Tactical Air Force level. The powers and responsibilities of SACEUB for the logistic support of the forces placed under its authority will be increased; SACEUB will also have control over higher training of all national forces assigned to its command in peacetime. The “area” of SACEUB will not include North Africa.
