| Abstract: | Late in 1962, Harold Macmillan reminded Charles de Gaulle that New Zealand was "an English farm in the Pacific". Several months earlier, at a Commonwealth conference called to discuss Britain's negotiations for membership of the European Economic Community, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Keith Holyoake, had warned MacMillan that "New Zealand would be ruined" if safeguards were not provided for the dominion's exports of temperate foodstuff. Britain's prospective involvement in the process of European integration had wide-ranging implications for its relations with established trading partners in the Commonwealth. |
