UNDEAC signed a treaty for the establishment of a Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) to promote the entire process of sub-regional integration through the forming of monetary union with the Central Africa CFA franc as a common currency; it was officially superseded by CEMAC in June 1999 (through agreement from 1994).

CONT

Unions of States derive their limited or partial legal capacity from the States of which they consist. ... it can be said that such institutions may arise at present if the movements towards unity in several parts of the world, among the Arab countries or some of the new States, should succeed. A very recent example is ... the Caribbean Community .... The purpose of the Community is not only economic integration to be brought about by means of a specialised suborganisation, the Caribbean Common Market, but also the co-ordination of the foreign policy of member States, and functional co-operation including the efficient operation of certain common services.
