In all matters relating to the protection of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, their south-east relations will be coordinated with the South-Eastern European society, which in turn will be associated with the economic organizations of the Bohemian-Moravian region in all matters concerning the protection area. 2) The Deutsche Gesellschaft der Wirtschaft (German Economic Society) as the association of the German-led economy enters into a close employment relationship with the South-Eastern European Society, Vienna, which is entrusted by the Reichswirtschaftsminister with the implementation of all South-East concerns in the economic and cultural field. The German Society of Economics and its institutions are fully available to the South-Eastern European Society for the execution of the contracts in the Bohemian-Moravian region. 3) The German society of the economy sees in particular in the South-East Europe society the instrument to bring the interests of the equally south-east export-oriented empires into harmony and to coordinate with the requirements of the empire. 4) Within the framework of the South-Eastern Europe society, economic planning is to be carried out within those economic areas of the empire which are interested in the south-eastern market. The economies of the neighbouring areas should already be coordinated with each other in joint discussions, since no bleakness occurs with the entire export power of the Great German region.
