Abstract: Abstract The Comecon region has come to occupy an important place in the world scene. It represents 10 per cent of the world’s population, 18 per cent of its area, over 20 per cent of its national income, nearly 33 per cent of its industrial output and it claims some 40 per cent of the world’s engineers and scientists. The region has had a remarkable record of economic achievements. Over the two decades of 1950–70 its average annual rate of growth of national income was 8 per cent (compared with 5 per cent in the European Economic Community and the rest of the world). The rate for industrial output was even more spectacular, viz. 10 per cent (compared with 6 per cent in the EEC and the world as a whole).1
