Abstract (may include machine translation)

The summit conference of 1984 accepted a programme for the second half of the 1980s, based on a balanced agreement among the member states with different interests. When the plans for 1986—90 were synchronized the problem of energy came to the fore and agriculture was again pushed into the background. It has a favourable effect that the discussions became more open and objective in conceptional and practical questions alike. Owing to objective reasons a more thorough modification of goods structure of planned trade will not be due before the 1990s. There emerged new practical tasks: claims of developing member states for increasing aid as well as taking into consideration their interests adverse to tightening the-financial and legal conditions of co-operation in the course of establishing a more developed economic mechanism. It is a real necessity since technical development and specialization in machine-building directly and urgently demand the development of actual, inter-enterprise ties and the creation of the indispensable sets of conditions. All these depend on the development of inner, national mechanims. Nevertheless a common legal regulation— more up-to-date than the General Conditions of Delivery—is needed first. The CMEA’s Technological Programme until 2000 is a mixture of traditional and novel methods. As a matter of fact, it co-ordinates the national technological and research programmes aimed at reaching the world level. The conditions of the necessary system of inter-enterprise contacts can be created by a wholesale reform of the mechanism for cooperation, by putting forth the international socialist market and not by creating an experimental, favourized mechanism taken out of the whole system. Co-operation in planning, a more elastic treatment of the common institutions and rules, and the reduction of red-tape administration would be and personnel the first steps in the effective modernization of the CMEA’s international mechanism. The main field of direct state intervention should be the infrastructure instead of trade.
