Résumé anglais A deep continuity is in fact notable from de Gaulle to Pompidou, in matters pertaining to European political cooperation among the Six and later the Nine. Both presidents pursued three major objectives : first the creation of a true European identity in the field of foreign policy. Then to allow the member States to regain control over the existing supranational organizations. And lastly, to develop the international influence of France, thanks to a dynamic balancing of its relations with its partners, and thanks to a clever use of both EEC and EPC levers. This process was to continue, and ultimately lead to the Maastricht Treaty of 1992.
