A file of correspondence, reports, and legal material on the Romanian economy. The file reports changes to Romanian laws involving the payment of workers' basic wages from a state fund rather than from individual enterprises; a reduction in charges for the use of farmers' markets; and the exemption of wool from state delivery quotas. The file also discusses the Romanian Statistical Yearbook for 1957, which indicated that many of the targets for the 1951–55 five-year plan had been missed; that oil production, though increasing, was falling behind that of other oil-exporting nations; and that light industry and consumer goods had been neglected in favour of heavy industry. The file also contains the impressions of a British civil servant on her journey through Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria; and notes that as she was seconded to the United Nations she could not give advance copies of her reports to British diplomats.
