The ratification of the Treaty of Paris - Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) - was reached without major obstacles in most of the six signatory states. Only the Comunist Party was opposed to the funding of the European Coal and Steel Community, which interpreted it as being an American imperialist instrument conducting to a new war and as a way of deepen the conflict between West and East. In some Countries also Socialist (Belgium) and Social Democrats (Germany) MPs rejected the project and in France, the Gaullists had many reservations about the supranational character of the High Authority.
After Ratification in all six signatory states, the Treaty of Paris came into force on 25 July 1952.
