The Organisation came into being with the signing of the Convention for European Economic Co-operation on i6th April 1948, when Member Governments pledged themselves '''to combine their economic strength, to join together to make the fullest collective use of their individual capacities and potentialities, to increase their production, develop and modernise their industrial and agricultural equip¬ ment, expand their commerce, reduce progressively barriers to trade among themselves, promote full employment and restore or maintain the stability of their economies and general confidence in their national currencies. Representatives of each of the Member countries meet daily at OEEC's headquarters, the Château de la Muette, Paris, to discuss their economic problems and work out common solutions. The United States and Canada, although not members of the Organisation, participate in its. work and Yugo¬ slavia is represented by an observer. Spain participates as a full тепфгг in the work of the agricultural bodies of the Organisation, which are directed by the Ministerial Com¬ mittee for Agriculture and Food set up by the Council on \/^th January 1955. The European Productivity Agency, which is responsible for the publication of the present report, was set up as a new branch of the OEEC in May, 1953. ft^ task is to stimulate productivity, and thereby raise European standards of living, by influencing not only Governments but also industrial, agricultural and research organisations, private and collective enterprises and public services.
