...finance and economics ministers of the Six did somewhat better. After considering proposals from the Common Market's Executive Commission for joint economic planning and budgetary discipline to deal with overheated European economies, the ministers agreed -in principle-to set up a unified monetary mechanism. The details would have to be worked out later. Nevertheless, France's Finance Minister Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and West Germany's Economics Minister Karl Schiller called the agreement an important step.
