A special Council of Ministers was added with the right to give its assent in some cases. Immediately after the Schuman Plan, a new set of pressures emerged, again linked to Germany and the US, which seemed to present a new need and opportunity to go further. On 25 June 1950 the Korean War started. Pressure for German rearmament had been building up over the preceding years in response to the increased Soviet threat and the great imbalance in military forces on the ground in Europe. In August, US President Truman openly called for greater European acceptance of German rearmament.
The whole process collapsed when, in August 1954, the French Assembly failed to ratify the EDC Treaty. For a short while it seemed that the integration process would go no further. Yet there was a ‘relaunch’ quite soon. In 1955 the Messina Conference was convened. Negotiations in 1956 and 1957 produced the two Treaties of Rome: another sectoral treaty, the European Atomic Energy Community (known as Euratom) and the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, which aimed to create a common market, and a bit more, through what became known as the ‘Community method’.
The basic set of common objectives will need to be turned into practical measures, and adapted over time in the light of experience and changing circumstances. Applying this analytical perspective to the Rome Treaty, we see that it does not specify everything which is to be done. It created a set of ‘institutions’ which would be empowered to manage the process over time according to the principles and powers they were given.
