Extract

Meeting in Lisbon from February 20 to 25, 1952, and with Greece and Turkey participating as full members, the ninth session of the Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization took decisions on five major items: 1) the forces to be made available to the military command during 1952; 2) the bases and facilities to be built and made available for the forces; 3) the establishment of a European Defense Community comprising six countries, including western Germany; 4) the report by the occupying powers on the proposed contractual arrangements with the German Federal Republic; 5) the reorganization and strengthening of NATO itself. In addition, the Council took note of the report by the Atlantic Community Committee on economic cooperation, agreed on the amount of the German financial contribution to defense for 1952–1953 and assigned the ground and air forces of Greece and Turkey to the over-all command of SHAPE.
