  Abstract:  This paper attempts to analyze the position of General Charles de Gaulle concerning the first British candidature in European Communities.Great Britain refuses to participate after the Second World War at the European construction, and from economical and political reasons it changes its position in the sixties. For Charles de Gaulle the British involvement in business affairs would compromise his European policy. French president, de Gaulle, has taken this decision motivated by economical, political and military aspects. Another reason not directly expressed by general for rejecting Great Britain, is the American immixture in the European problems.  
In this article I don’t look for the responsible, but I make an incursion in the history of European construction. By the SWOT analysis I want to focus on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of both actors.

Key words: veto, European construction, United States, derogation, arguments
