Abstract
This is the talk that Schmidt gave on 30 November 1974 as a guest of the 73rd annual conference of the British Labour Party in Brighton. As a result of the oil price crisis, economic development had deteriorated. In some countries of the European Community, the tendency grew to go it alone or even to pull out. The latter was true of the UK, which had joined the community only 2 years earlier. The Labour government that had been in power since the spring of 1974 had demanded from the other EC members, in consideration of the anti-European sentiment among their own constituents, a significant reduction of the British contribution to the financing of the Community.
