10. Expresses concerns about the ongoing appreciation of the euro against most major foreign currencies; points out in this connection that Article 111 of the Treaty assigns responsibility for exchange rate policy to the Council, but without specifying how this responsibility should be exercised; calls on the Eurogroup, the Council and the ECB to exercise their respective competences in full and to coordinate their actions in the field of exchange rate policy more closely; observes that such appreciation has not been harmful to exports on the euro zone level so far, but that the effects vary among Member States ; underlines the risks ...[+++] associated with large global current account imbalances which could result in additional increases in the euro exchange rate; notes that there is now a broad consensus among policy makers on how to tackle the problem of global imbalances; notes that the efforts made by the international community and international financial institutions have been far from adequate; hopes that the implementation of these measures (the adoption of measures to reduce the budget deficit and promote private savings in the USA and to achieve greater exchange rate flexibility in a number of surplus countries in emerging Asia, in particular China), which is to be monitored by the IMF, will make a significant contribution to the gradual resolution of global imbalances;

11. Emphasises the risks inherent in rapid adjustments to international disequilibria which may lead to a rise in the euro exchange rate vis-à-vis the dollar; points out, in this context, that the Treaty entrusts responsibility for exchange rate policy to the Council, but without specifying how this power is to be exercised; invites the Eurogroup, the Council and the ECB to exercise their respective powers to the full, and to step up coordination of their action in the sphere of exchange rate policy;

The exchange rate policy cooperation between participating non-euro area NCBs and the ECB may be further strengthened; in particular, closer exchange rate links may be agreed on a case-by-case basis at the initiative of the interested participating non-euro area Member State.

exchange rate policy co-operation may be further strengthened, for example by allowing closer exchange rate links between the euro and the participating non-euro area currencies, where, and to the extent that, these are appropriate in the light of progress towards convergence.
