Issue No. 221 Report No. 210, April EC Launches Monetary Fund • Issue No. 221 Report No. 210, April EC Launches Monetary Fund The European Community has moved considerably closer to mon­ etary integration with the formal establishment of its Monetary Cooperation Fund, the supposed forerunner of a common central banking system. The April 3 inauguration - coming two days after the deadline date originally set by last fall's Paris Summit - had been delayed by a long skirmish between Luxembourg and the U.K. over where the Fund's headquarters should be established. Unable to settle the dispute but pressed to get the Fund on its way, the Council of Ministers finally emerged with the compro­ mise that Luxembourg should be the provisional home until a final • decision is made by J.une 30. Britain had insisted that Brussels should be the seat of the Fund. Luxembourg is basing its claim on a 1965 EEC agreement hold­ ing that member states "shall be prepared to install in or trans­ fer to Luxembourg other Community bodies and services, in partic­ ular those dealing with finance, insofar as their smooth operation shall be ensured." That promise was in compensation for the loss of the Coal and Steel Community and Euratom administrations, which were shifted from Luxembourg to Brussels in 1965. The compromise now reached did not come about without a con­ cession by Luxembourg, however: its government agreed not to re­ sist examination of the privileged tax status of holding companies in Luxembourg conducted as part of the EC's tax harmonization ef­ forts, provided such action would not discriminate against Luxem­ bourg. This matter was specifically brought up by Germany and France in a rider to the protocol establishing the Fund. Closer to a European Company Statute? Work on the Draft Statute of the European Stock Corporation has been accelerated in order to present it soon to the Council of Ministers for a decision on whether the concept should be intro­ duced throughout the community. The draft already reflects changes from the European commission's original proposals, taking into account some of the objections raised by the EC's Economic and Social Committee as well as by memaer state governments. But not all differences are cleared up - the ministers still will have to find compromise solutions in specific areas. ---------This Issue is in two parts, eonslstlng of 2&.I pages, This is Part 1.--------­ CO:l.H!ON MARKET REPORTS, Issue No. 221, April 10, 1973.

EUROMARKET NEWS - p. 2 • The statute would provide the initial framework for a European­ type company governed by uniform Community law enforced by the Euro­ pean Court of Justice. It would ease certain operations involvinq companies from different EC states, i.e., mergers, creation of hold­ ing companies and joint subsidiaries, etc. But it is not intended as a substitute for the harmonization of national company rules nor would it replace these; instead, it would complement them. Progress on the formulation of the concept so far has been blocked mostly by the issue of employee representation on supervi­ sory and managing boards. The version submitted by the Commission provided for one third of the supervisory board's members to be elected by members of the company's national works councils from a list naming the company's national and European works council mem­ bers, union representatives, and workers. The Commission proposed that each managing board would have one director responsible for personnel matters and labor relations. This concept, largely pat­ terned after the German statutory model, has aroused a great deal of opposition, notably in France and Italy, but recently in the U.K. as well. Some of the diverging views are reflected in the opinion given by the Economic and Social Committee. It is now for the Council of Ministers to find a solution offering a compromise between the Commission's proposal and the differing views of the several member state governments. Some Concessions for Norway, If ... The EC's foreign ministers have handed the Commission a broad­ er mandate in its negotiations with Norway over a free-trade agree­ ment. The Community is prepared to liberalize terms for Norwegian metal exports provided certain Community products are given easier access by Norway. This offer may come just in time for the embattled Oslo gov­ ernment, which stands accused by Opposition forces of having re­ sorted to an "act of desperation" in order to obtain EC concessions • for Norway's vital aluminum exports. It was revealed that, without informing Parliament in advance, Oslo had approached France with the offer of placing an order of up to 800 million kroner ($137.9 million) for French antiaircraft missiles. France has been the fiercest opponent to any liberal Community concessions for Norway after that country failed to ratify the accession treaty. The Korvald Administration in Oslo depends on a quick free­ trade agreement with the Community for its own political survival. It had assumed power on its claim that such a settlement would es­ sentially offer Norway the advantages but not the obligations of EC membership. And it set April 1 as the latest target for such an agreement - a deadline that has now been missed. 'Nationalization Fund' Worries Sweden A temporary "buyers' strike" at the Stockholm Stock Exchange has been one of the reactions to a Swedish government proposal that many regard as "the foot in the door" for nationalization. The administration of Olaf Palme said it will shortly introduce legislation enabling the government to invest its huge social se­ curity assets in the stock of domestic corporations, A fund to be set up later this year would begin investments in 1974 with an initial 500 million kronor ($11,1 million). But future legisla­ tion would authorize the government to divert more pension assets to the state fund without specific parliamentary approval. Sweden's social security system - the General Old-Age Insur- • • EUROMARKET NEWS - p. 3 ance (ATP) - was set up in 1960 and has been fed by extremely high compulsory contributions. Its assets of 57 billion kronor ($13.1 billion) compare to the 40 to 50 billion share value of Sweden's private stock corporations. Most of the ATP assets are tied up in government bonds and investment credits. But given the same rate of contributions, they will reach 180 billion by 1980. This, in theory, would enable the government to buy up all Swedish stock within seven or eight years. The government proposal, of course, does not carry things that far, and one of its provisions is that investment would be governed by profit expectations. The proposed legislation is expected to become a major cam­ paign issue prior to this fall's elections. The non-socialist op­ position parties see it as "the most serious socialization attempt in Swedish history." Industry resentment centers on the fact that the proposal is in stark contrast to a recommendation put forward last year by a research commission which included Opposition mem­ bers. That report laid emphasis on providing business with ATP funds but said that fund management should never buy more than 5% of a company's stock and that it should be subject to parliamentary control. U.K. Moves on Pyramid Selling A government proposal to outlaw pyramid or multi-level selling is contained in a consultative document issued by the U.K.'s Dept. of Trade and Industry. The document offers a broad definition of the types of selling systems that will be prohibited, namely, "any arrangement for the supply of goods or the provision of services under which a benefit is conferred on a participant by reference to the introduction, whether by him or someone else, of further • participants." (The essential characteristic of pyramid selling is that, ultimately, what is being sold is distribution rights to a product rather than the product itself). In releasing the document, the DTI has obviated the need to introduce a "regulating code" for this type of marketing and has made a clear distinction between pyramid selling and other legiti­ mate forms of marketing such as franchising or direct selling. After obtaining reactions from business, the government hopes to introduce the legislation in the form of an amendment to the Fair Trading Bill currently under consideration. A few companies prominent in the pyramid-selling market were quick to announce that they "welcomed" the proposals and that they were making "contingency arrangements." They may well have been surprised by the government's hard-nosed attitude, although the handwriting has been on the wall. Last year, consumer group pres­ sure had led to the compulsory dissolution of a pyramid-selling cosmetics company, Koscot Interplanetary. Treasurers Shy Away From TDAs The Tax Deposit Accounts introduced in the recent U.K. Budget have not found favor with company treasurers handling the finances of some of Britain's largest corporations, ac.cording to a sample poll conducted by a leading daily. The TDAs were introduced in an effort to accelerate the flow of funds into the Exchequer - and thus out of circulation - by offering 2.5% over the Treasury Bill rate for money deposited with the Inland Revenue for payment of mainstream corporation tax. Most treasurers, according to the Daily Telegraph survey, have • EUROMARKET NEWS - p. 4 • not been attracted since they prefer term deposits at a fixed rate. They do not feel that the TDAs can compete with other market rates available. The success of the program, designed to finance the gov­ ernment's borrowing requirement, is thus in question.

The 15th year of our popular magazine is finished with this December issue. I can still well remember how, in August 2005, we virtually out of emergency pulled ® Trainini out of the ground. Only the name of what is now by far the world's leading Holger Späing magazine especially for Z-gauge had been known for a long time. Editor-in-chief Only it had not been thought up for a magazine. A distribution platform for small series manufacturers was to be built up under it. At the beginning of 2005 our gauge seemed well positioned in the media: We had long been well networked and visible at the important exhibitions, knew how to draw attention to ourselves and impress third parties. What was missing from my point of view at the time was the sales platform. It was supposed to relieve small-series manufacturers of the effort of picking, shipping and accounting and to create free space for the development and production of models. On the customer side, postage costs would have been better exploited, because products from different manufacturers could have been ordered in a single process.

The Dutch government, which heads the Coun­ cil for the rest of this year, hopes that the ministers will be able to find political solutions to legal issues that the Council's working party so far has failed to re­ solve at its weekly meetings. But Community officials are increasingly doubtful whether the problems can be solved hy the end of 1976, the deadline for implementing the proposed system for the 1978 Connnunity Budget. In 1973 the Europe?n Commission had proposed harmoni­ zation of the VAT base in order to facilitate calculation of part of the Community Budget starting in '78 (Common Market Reports, Par. 3165). This proposal followed up on the Council's 1970 decision that the contributions to the Budget now derived from agricultural levies and customs du­ ties should be augmented as of 1979 by national VAT revenue obtained by applying a rate not exceeding 1% on a uniform assessment base.

  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.

A working paper in the INSEAD Working Paper Series is intended as a means whereby a faculty researchers thoughts and findings may be communicated to interested readers.

Printed at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France EUROPEAN BANKING INTEGRATION, Ten Years After by Jean Dermine INSEAD F-77300 Fontainebleau, France October 1995 Revised and expanded version of a paper "Banking Industry in the ECs Internal Market" presented at a conference organized by the Sveriges Riksbank, Stockholm, November 1993. Forthcoming in European Financial Management. Abstract Ten year ago, the White Paper on the Completion of the Single Market announced the integration of European banking markets. The purpose of this essay is to identify four public issues that remain to be addressed. Home country control of international banks need to be complemented by host country control. The deposit guarantee schemes should be modified by rendering insured deposits "first order claim". A European authority is needed to ensure that banks do not exploit domestic rents to subsidize international activities. Finally, tax evasion is a fourth issue that remains to be addressed. At a meeting of the Council of Ministers held in Milan in 1985, the European Commission proposed a detailed timetable for the complete integration of European markets by January 1993. The aim was to dismantle the technological, regulatory and fiscal barriers which prevented the free flow of goods, capital and persons in the European Union.
