This problem gains new actuality in period from the 1968 (Invasion of Warsaw Pact forces in Czechoslovakia) to 1975 ( Helsinki Agreements ). One of most important factors in the process of creation of new system of Security in Europe were relations of Great Britain and former British colonies, Malta and Cyprus, and positions of this countries regarding the problem of global confrontation in Mediterranean and presence of NATO military bases under British command on their territory. Situation in Mediterranean was also influenced by Gibraltar and Gibraltar Pass, most important sea route after the close of Suez Channel as a result of Arab-Israeli conflict. Position of Britain the Mediterranean was the main factor for the forming of new NATO regional course, and creation of new security conception, in situation of changing balance of power, by reason of growing Soviet naval presence in the Mediterranean and decolonization process in region.
