JVM/5 A/S-18/PV. 6 18 (President Vassil iou) Debt-relief measures must be accompanied by stePs to address the issue of raw-material prices., which is intimately linked to the exacerbation of the debt problem in the 1980s, as well as measures to open up markets to developinq countries' products, not only in terms of tariffs but also in terms of quotas and other non-tariff barriers, such as calendar restrictions and rules of oriqin. The successful finalization of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade neqotiations under the ausPices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is an essential step in this direction. This success can be assured only through the opening of international markets to agricultural products and light industrial goods. Developing countries rrust also be qiven the chance to share the benefits of the technological revolution, which will be vital to future economic development. In today's world the most effective vehicles of technology transfer are the multilateral and other high-technology corporations. To be realistic, we must acknowledqe that such corporations are not likely to invest for abstract reasons; they require tangible incentives if they are to contribute to technology transfer either in the developing countries or in restructuring the East European economies now beginning the process of reconstruction.
