[News 1 Dec 1971: Britain and the European Economic Community broke up their long meeting on fisheries policy without reaching a settlement. British officials expressed mystification at the tough line being taken by the Big Six, particularly the French. The setback raised doubts about whether it would be possible to sign the Treaty of Accession before the end of December as planned.] (Source: British Cartoon Archive, University of Kent).
