Формы сотрудничества стран СЭВ в области легкой промышленности

The existing range of cooperation of the CMEA countries in the field of the light industry products is incomparably low in relation to existing needs and potentialities. A relatively low level of mutual trade exchange shows that trade has not been used as a source of bigger differentiation of assortment or its greater attractiveness in their internal markets. Insignificant scope of cooperation of the CMEA countries in textile, clothing and leather products, as well as in other spheres, is a result of barriers to cooperation existing in the CMEA and specific character is the analyzed production sector, which further deepen the existing barriers. In order to overcome these difficulties it is necessary to launch new forms of cooperation based on direct ties among lower-level entities.
