achieve high production results. In 1983 there were 1510 Guinean engineers and workers and 96 soviet specialists working at the complex and the output of bauxites was 1081 of the design output. The traditional forms of technology exchange between deve­ loped countries through selling licenses and patents are not suitable for developing countries. as their efficient use re­quires the presence of developed production potential. and. In the first place, machine-building branches as wei I as qualified Man-power able to master new technology on Its own. In developing countries these prerequisites are lacking requiring more active forms of technology transfer such as those widely used by soviet organizations In their economic, sclentlllc and technological cooperation with developing countries. SOVIET CO-OPERATION: SOME EXAMPLES Rendering assistance In creation of national designing organizations has become a specific form of technology transfer to developing countries. Owing to the work of soviet specialists In these organizations and the use of soviet normative and other documentation new technology developed In the Soviet Union I~ being directly Introduced Into Industry of developing countries. As an example of this one may cite ·successful operation of Indian designing organization "MECON11 special lzed In designing with the participation of Soviet experts projects of ferrous and non­ ferrous metal lurglcal enterprises, machine-building and other enterprises. This national organizations was created In 1967 with the assistance of special lsts from "Gipromez" and other soviet designing Institutes which elaborated for MECON Instruction materials on designing technology which Incorporated the experience accumulated by Soviet designing organizations during many years, prepared recommendations on organizational structure• passed over 20 technological recommendations on new processes and equipment used In the ferrous metallurgy of the USSR. About 201 of total number of engineers of this Indian firm was trained In Soviet designing organizations. In 1983 there were more then 
**Analysis**
