First sentence: When the European Monetary System (EMS) started operating on March 13, 1979, it was seen by some as an engine to foster economic integration in the European Community (EC) and as an important step toward the political unification of Europe and by others as a misguided attempt to force unity on a group of countries where diversity predominated.
