Fællesskabets deltagelse i foranstaltninger vedrørende mellemfristet finansiel bistand til disse Iandes betalingsbalance bygger på princippet om, at Fællesskabet skal dække ca. halvdelen af det resterende finansieringsbehov efter IMF's intervention og de øvrige medlemmer af G24 skal yde en støtte, der svarer til Fællesskabets.
The Community's participation in mediumterm financial assistance for those countries' balance of payments is based on the principle whereby the Community meets some 50% of the residual funding requirement, once the IMF has provided aid, while the other G24 members give support comparable to that provided by the Community.
