Germany and Italy were included in the system of mutual military assistance of the Western European Union. The Allied High Commission and the departments of the state commissioners in the Federal Republic were dissolved. In this context, declared the victors that they wanted to basically let them participate in decisions of the occupying powers, the federal government, which affected the standing under four-power administration of Berlin.
The agreement contains the following individual contracts:
- Germany Treaty ( broad foreign policy sovereignty )

On the day of the signing of the Paris Agreements, the three Western powers received a diplomatic note from the Soviet Union, in which a four-power conference was suggested on the restoration of German unity. Later, a European security conference has been proposed. Shortly before the first reading of the contracts in the Bundestag was the third note: If the German rearmament will decided the Soviet Union would no longer discuss the German unit.
