the auspices of DIA INVEST-EXPORT will take the form of a consultation
of experts from CMEL countries and will
be carried out in agreement with certain directives laid down by the
permanent CMEA Commission for complete factory installations.

For East Germany: DIA INVEST-EXPORT.
For the USSR: TECHNO-EXPORT.
For Poland: CEKOP.
For Bulgaria: TECHNO
For Rumania: MAgINIMPORT
3. The official Chairman of the meeting will be the head of DIA
INVEST-EXPORT, BOULANGER. It is however already accepted that the
real power behind the scenes will be the two Russian foreign trade exports,
MJELNIKOW and KRUPIN, who are believed to be representatives of TECHNO-
PROM-IMPORT...

The two main subjects to be discussed at the meeting will be:
(a)
(b)
Market research and analysis of the under-developed countries.
Delivery Possibilities to the under-developed countries of
complete factory installations.
6. A typical argument arose with the two Russian representatives mentioned
above when the head of the section for international cooperation in DIA
,INVEST-EXPORT, JUNGBLUT, suggested that the various People's Democracies
shoal submit their respective market research # e to their-fin,
language. The Russians insisted in no uncertain terms that all
the analyses submitted had to be translated into Russian first and from
Russian back into the language of the other partaking countries. This
is creating a major problem for the various interpreting sections apart from
nnnaiAarn'h1v ra?nninv thA intnllirribility of the various analyses Produced.
