For så vidt angår valutatransaktioner i forbindelse med in vesteringer og løbende betalinger afholder AVS-staterne og medlemsstaterne sig så vidt muligt fra at træffe diskriminerende foranstaltninger over for hinanden eller at give tredjelande en gunstigere behandling, idet de fuldt ud tager hensyn til det internationale valutasystems evolutive karakter, tilstedeværelsen af særlige valutaordninger og af betalingsbalanceproblemer.
In respect of foreign exchange transactions linked with investments and current payments, the ACP States on the one hand and the Member States on the other shall avoid, as far as possible, taking discriminatory measures vis-à-vis each other or according more favourable treatment to third states, taking full account of the evolving nature of the international monetary system, the existence of specific monetary arrangements and balance-of-payments problems.
