Trade needs international cooperation

Abstract

Internationality is in the Federal Republic of Germany no mere slogan. A country whose industry and commerce is so closely interlinked with the economies of other countries needs international cooperation, and that not only within the restricted circle of its EEC partners, but also in the wider sphere of the world economy. An economic policy which aims at achieving a balance between the interests of the various countries concerns not only the state, but also industry, exporters and importers. In an attempt to ascertain their attitude towards the current questions of monetary policy, towards the problems of equalising the balances of payments and towards the present stagnation affecting European integration, we interviewed the President of the Central Association of German Chambers of industry and Commerce.
