ISSN: 1375-680X (print) ISSN: 1784-2476 (online) NBB WORKING PAPER No. 301 – SEPTEMBER 2016 Abstract Robert Triffin (1911-1993) played an important role in the international monetary debates in the postwar period. He was known as one of the main advocates of a multipolar international monetary system. In this paper we analyse the origins of Triffin’s “regional” approach towards international monetary integration. We argue that Triffin’s experience with the European Payments Union (EPU) played hereby a crucial role.

Of the fourteen official meetings of the Werner Group, nine were held in Luxembourg (consolidating its reputation as a permanent capital of the Communities 2), three in Brussels, 3 one in Paris, one in Rome 4 and one in Copenhagen, on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the IMF and the World Bank. Preliminary meeting (Luxembourg, 11 March 1970) The main purpose of the preliminary meeting of the Werner Committee was to approve the working method to be adopted and to set the deadline for reaching its conclusions. It was established that the group would have a quorum for discussion if at least five of the seven members (the group’s secretary did not have voting rights) were present and that decisions would be taken by simple majority.
