§ The Prime MinisterChancellor Schmidt gave an account of his conversations with President Brezhnev in Bonn to the European Council on 26 and 27 November. The Chancellor described his discussions with President Brezhnev on disarmament, including the negotiations on long-range theatre nuclear forces which opened in Geneva on 30 November.
