As expected, the founding fathers “CMEA is the scientific-technical cooperation was to create favorable conditions for the transition to full use of the intensive factors in the development of the socialist countries, to become one of the factors of intensification, and then integrate both economic and political.
Scientific and technical cooperation of the CMEA countries represented, according to the general scheme, the interaction existing in the scientific and technical capacities for the entire cycle of science-technology-production. The modalities of such cooperation has been quite diverse and multifaceted and include: mutual consultations on matters of science and technology, cooperation in the field of forecasting technological progress, joint planning activities in this field, exchange of scientific and technical information, the establishment of temporary and permanent-force research teams, etc.
With the diversification of social production, growth nomenklaturyvypuskaemoy product development expertise is necessary not only in manufacturing but also in the field of scientific research. This allows the States participating in co-operation, to drastically reduce their costs and to more fully concentrate on addressing issues for which countries have more favorable conditions. Vital are the specialization and profile scientific and technical capacities of countries: the concentration of efforts of each state on a relatively limited area of scientific and technical cooperation and coordination of research activities and scientific and technical policy.
Cooperation of the CMEA countries in the field of science and technology originates from the early years of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. Initially, scientific and technical exchanges between countries on the principles of gratuitousness. In the years 1948-1960. free exchange was very intense. USSR in this period gave the socialist countries 31,788 sets of technical documentation and received in return 8,877 kits.
In the mid 60-ies with CMEA question of the intensification of cooperation between the countries. In this regard, it was decided to increase country ownership for the efficiency of the use of scientific achievements to go to a paid system of information transmission. Adopted in 1976, the recommendations of the CMEA included a combination of paid and unpaid forms of scientific and technical exchange. Two of these forms take into account the ability of countries to obtain information. However, this decision did not have any significant impact on science and technology policies of member countries of CMEA.
