Document Summary
Sept 16 summit in bratislava without uk. Most important quote ever closer union . Treaty of paris 1951 & treaties of rome 1957: treaties because it became european economic community. Attempts edc & epc (got too far) Other attempts council of europe & oeec (not far enough) Privileges for the colonial territories of the member states. New institutions: commission, assembly, court of justice. How the six approached the treaty of rome. Gradualism they knew it was ambitious but had to do it step by step. No rush, slowly focusing and moving from one country to another not all countries together. Focus on close targets, underplay remote targets to establish the foundation of a closer union among european people (treaty) Necessary adjustments were made in small steps. Allowed to stretch out the time for adjustments. Intergovernmentalism = is the theory where member state governments use institutions to pursue their policies. So member states have more power than institutions.
