USSR-Berlin: Moscow yesterday delivered a
mildly favorable but carefully imprecise response
to last month's Allied proposal on Berlin.
The Allied note dealt with the question of
access to Berlin as a subject for Four Power talks
and suggested that the Four Powers encourage bi-
lateral talks between Bonn and Pankow. In identical
notes to the US, UK, and France the Soviets said
they would be ready for an exchange of opinions on
"averting complications now and in the future around
West Berlin."
This positive tone was tempered, however, with
the qualification that the "sovereign rights and
legitimate interests" of East Germany must be taken
into account. The reply carefully noted that all
access to West Berlin utilizes East German lines
of communication. This appears to be a hint that
Pankow must be involved in talks on the access
question. The note also did not address itself
directly to the suggestion that the Four Powers pro-
mote East - West German talks.

European Communities: The Pompidou-Kiesinger
talks on 8-9 September made clear once again that
the opening of negotiations with the British on
Community membership will not come soon.
At the meeting, the French continued to empha-
size the necessity of completing and strengthening
the present Community before opening negotiations.
The Germans, although willing to try to settle the
issue of financing the common agricultural policy
(CAP) before the end of the year, have said that
agreement may require fundamental revision of the
CAP and should take into account the possibility
of new Community members.
While the Germans were disappointed with the
substantive results, both sides expressed satisfac-
tion with the atmosphere of the meeting. They af-
firmed that a summit of the Six, which presumably
would discuss Community enlargement and other
matters, should be held in November. The Germans
reportedly plan at that time to press the French
to accept a specific date for opening negotiations
with membership applicants. The French insisted
that the Six must settle among themselves their
negotiating position before opening talks with ap-
plicants for Community membership.
The session of the Communities' Council of
Ministers scheduled for 15 September will attempt
to decide the nature of the summit. While the
French and the Germans seem to agree that the sum-
mit should be an open-ended affair, the Dutch wish
to impose a number of conditions. At least one of
these, however, the participation of the EC Commis-
sion, may be fulfilled without great difficulty.
The Commission plans to make clear at the ministers'
meeting that it wishes to participate in the sum-
mit, and Commission sources expect the Six to agree.
