Benelux Plan for Multilateral Payments

Hirschfeld and Hubert Ansiaux, the Benelux put forth the idea to create a system of multilateral payments between the members of the Committee for European Economic Cooperation (CEEC) in Paris. Eventually, the plan gave impetus to the Multilateral Monetary Compensation Agreement in November 1947, which was the first intra-European payments agreement.
