For så vidt angår de monetære kriser, som i Fællesskabet har resulteret i oprettelsen af fem adskilte markeder, der er indbyrdes for bundet ved et system af udligningsbeløb, er Kommissionen stadig overbevist om, at de monetære udligningsbeløb gradvist må forsvinde, i hvert fald senest den 31. december 1977, hvis Den økonomiske og monetære Union skal gennemføres.
In its attitude to monetary crises which have effectively resulted in the establish ment within the EEC of five separate markets interlinked by a system of compensatory amounts, the Commission remains convinced that with a view to achieving Economic and Monetary Union, the monetary compensatory amounts should be gradually phased out, in any case not later than 31 December 1977.
