In South Africa and continental Western Europe (except for Greece and Finland), new investments of money from the U.S. were barred completely. Companies may finance new projects from foreign earnings and depreciation allowances, but only up to a ceiling of 35% of the average level of such expenditures in 1965 and 1966.
