Por cierto, una frase final del análisis periodístico que comento nos revela el mucho camino adelantado en estos años pues reprochaba a la CEE de entonces que se limitase a disponer de un sistema monetario europeo no sólo tardío sino insuficiente, de lo que culpaba sobre todo a la República Federal Alemana que a la sazón se negaba, dice, a llegar al final lógico, "la creación de una unidad monetaria concurrente con la divisa norteamericana".
Incidentally, a sentence picked up at the end of the set of articles I am discussing here shows us just how far we have come over the years, since the then EEC was reproached for being content with a European monetary system which was not only set up late but fell short of what was needed, the blame falling mainly on the Federal Republic of Germany which at that time, according to the writer, was refusing to take things to their logical conclusion and create "a monetary unit competing with the American currency".
