Brussels, 18/10/2004 (Agence Europe) - Fifty years ago, the Federal Republic of Germany entered the Western European Union (WEU) just as the Parliamentary Assembly, which was to give national parliaments a voice in security and defence matters, was being born. These two major changes, with others, were part of the agreements modifying the 1948 Brussels Treaty - agreements signed in Paris on 23 October 1954 and whose 50th anniversary is now being celebrated at the WEU Assembly.
