On 15 May 1970, in view of the fact that Mr G Brouwers, Dutch Chairman of the Conjunctural Policy Committee, did not lend his support to the proposal to establish a ‘European Exchange Equalisation Fund’ during the first stage of the Werner Plan, Baron Jean-Charles Snoy et d’Oppuers, Belgian Finance Minister, sends a letter to his counterpart in the Netherlands, Hendrikus Johannes Witteveen, in which he asks the Netherlands Government to support this plan.
