BRITAIN’S ENTRY
Pompidou’s Opinion
(N Z P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) PARIS, April 30.
Mr Georges Pompidou told Gaullist deputies yesterday that the question of Britain’s entry into the Common Market should be re-examined, informed sources said.
Mr Pompidou, who is standing in the forthcoming French Presidential election, stressed that a decision on British entry did not depend only on France. Tn his statement to the deputies, Mr Pompidou said the broad lines of General de Gaulle’s foreign policy would not be altered if he became President.
The newspaper, “Le Monde,” commented that General de Gaulle’s departure did not mean that the problem of Britain’s entry into the Common Market would be solved right away. It said that in the eyes of France’s partners General de Gaulle had appeared as the chief obstacle to European unity and his resignation ought to lead to fresh negotiations for Britain’s membership. “Yet, it may quickly be found that the problems have not been solved automatically,” the "Le Monde” editorial said.
