Common Market Faces Its Worst Crisis in 11 Years
Brussels sources say the European Common Market faces a deep crisis after France devalued the franc and West Germany floated the mark. Paris and Bonn acted without consultation and exempted two years of uniform agricultural pricing, while Germany imposed an import tax on farm goods. A broad package of financing and reforms is needed to prevent degeneration into a simple trade zone.
