maintained trade relations. Analysis covering the period May
July 1951 of prices in aollaad, Anetria, Norway and Italy showed
that the G;)R' a export prices were ilignificantly below those of other
countries, s iereae prices paid by the OR for imports were often
twice an high as elsewhere4 The fact that export goods were sold
below world prices was an importmat contributing factor in the
need for governaa !nt subventions to exporters.
This enaalyeis of the price sit Lion was accepted only in part
by Gregor, ibo was probably irritated by Km zyn kiq as reference to
a "certain inexperionco" on the part of the GDRI as trade organizationaso
Axs factory : oeponsible for the phenomenon of export prices below
world levels, Gregor mentioned failures to most delivery scheduleas,
which had a depa:*eesi effact on prioee; noes-recognition, de dare
and de faoto5 of the'GDR; and ignorance in the CDR of world priceey
caused by the lack of direct contact with major world trade oentersc-
Rau fully supported Xucsaynekil a aaxualyais, and directed that the
following ot3pe be taken to improvo the situation: radio contact
with world trade centers is to be e;ata::blished; the foreign trade
ministry is to tavke price analyses of key product&, if necessary
sending repr asentaativea abroad; the work of the Gorz&a Economic
Institute (14 1) in prieo analysis is to be continued and extended,
based on oot.odity lists prepared by the industrial ministries;
and direct oontaot is to be set up between 1 and the foreign
trade ministry,
