2 increase in the number of notes in circulation. Since the conditions throughout Europe are similar / aversion of the population to the German influence, abstention, strong deliveries to the Reich and so on/, but the price level has developed so differently, it seems clear that the organization of the administration is actually the decisive factor and, if the autonomous ones cooperate properly with the Reichssseln, the price levels can be maintained despite all difficulties. This can be seen, for example, in the Protectorate. Dr. Fischböck refers to us as the "fuck question of our task of dealing with the trade in creeps". "The infection from the occupied territories must not exceed". It is to be determined for each country: l./ functioning of the management measures. 2./ Improvements in the administrative structure / cooperation of the non-German administration/.

The unit and group prices of the Minister for Armor and Ammunition cannot be taken over as in the Protectorate, but are specifically determined by the Military Authority and the Dutch Free Commissioner for the Dutch suppliers. The excessive purchases by the Wehrmacht are contained by this, since the prices of all the important goods of the army are announced in the regulation sheet of the troop. Nevertheless, the enforcement of the price regulations in the area of the Wermacht is the dominant task. The price monitoring cooperates with the local police, the penalties reach 5.3 million RM per month. The price level is stable. There is a decree that German services, wherever they are located in Europe, may be supplied at Dutch prices at the most. / It is considered to create such a regulation also for the Protectorate/. Belgium: Since the purchases for the Reich have been controlled, the resulting price increase has been contained, but it still happens that Wehrmacht and Organisation Todt meet their needs in the black market. The cooperation of the country's own authorities is poor despite good legal regulations. Effective control of management and production control is lacking, limiting the price increase can only be a limitation of the money supply. The cash inflow by German authorities is to be reduced. The labour supply is carried out by factory feeding and also by direct supply of textiles. This supply is withdrawn during strikes, which acts more strongly than salary deprivation• A third of agricultural products go to the black market, one dares not enforce full coverage, because thus the yield for the farmer would fall sharply. Social tension between workers and peasants, guerrilla attacks on farmers. ./.
