Law
of 23 March 1955
on the State Plan for the Development of the National Economy of the Czechoslovak Republic for 1955.
The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:
Main tasks of the National Economy Development Plan for 1955.
In order to ensure the proportional development of the national economy, to ensure further growth of the material and cultural level of the population and to strengthen the defence capacity of the Republic, the State's National Economy Development Plan for 1955 sets out the following main tasks:
(a) accelerate the development of agricultural production, in particular by increasing the yield and performance of livestock;
(b) increase coal and electricity production and implement measures to further expand the fuel, energy and ore base;
(c) develop and further improve engineering production in order to increase the technical level of industry, agriculture and other sectors of the national economy, strengthen the country's defence and make a significant contribution to the development of foreign trade;
(d) to increase and improve the production of goods with a wide need and to improve the provision of services to the population;
(e) substantially increase the level of work of rail and road transport;
(f) consolidate the most stringent economy throughout the national economy, in particular substantially reducing own costs and increasing labour productivity;
(g) to further deepen economic cooperation with the Soviet Union and with popular democratic states and to expand trade relations with other countries on the basis of the principle of equality and the granting of mutual benefits.
The development of individual sectors of the national economy and the growth of the material and cultural level of the population.
Industrial development.
The guidelines for the development of industrial production shall be as follows:
(1) In the fuel and energy sectors, coal production will increase by more than 5%, and by increasing electricity production by almost 10%, industrial and household electricity supply will improve. In particular, the planned coal extraction will be achieved through better use of existing capacities, further increase in mine mechanisation and increase in the scope of preparatory, opening and hiding works. The construction of apartments for miners will continue to be increased in order to ensure permanent labour. The scope of geological research will increase and will aim to ensure the construction of new mines in the coming years. The planned increase in electricity production will be achieved mainly by increasing installed power.
(2) In the metallurgical industry, production in colour metallurgy will increase, the volume of which will almost double in particular in basic products. Iron ore production will increase by almost 15%. The greatest attention will be paid to the geological exploration of the ore base as well as the construction of ore treatment facilities. Increasing ore mining will be achieved by further mechanising down. Increasing the production of pig iron will be achieved by better utilization of blast furnace capacity while increasing the share of domestic ore at stake. Measures will be taken to increase the production of narrow-profile rolled material.
(3) The chemical industry will increase the production of artificial fertilisers by one third and the production of artificial fibres for the light industry by more than one third. The production of consumer goods in the chemical industry will increase by more than one fifth. New production capacities for sulphuric acid will be put into operation.
(4) In engineering, the production of agricultural machinery and equipment almost doubles, the production of machine tools increases by more than one third, the production of rolling equipment by more than half, and the production of passenger cars increases more than twice. The production of consumer goods, such as refrigerators, washing machines, sewing machines, motorcycles, aluminium utensils, etc. Measures will be taken to improve the quality of engineering products.
(5) In the construction industry, the production of basic types of building materials will increase by more than one quarter. The production of panels of all types will also be increased to allow for acceleration of construction production. The increase in the production of building materials will be achieved in particular by better use of limestone and the introduction of year-round operations in seasonal bricks.
(6) In the timber industry, logging will be at the mining level in 1954. Savings of sawn wood will be achieved, especially by strengthening the consumption standards of coniferous sawn wood both in production and in operation, and in particular also in construction work.
(7) In the light industry, the production of consumer goods, in particular silk fabrics, wool fabrics and knitted goods, will be further increased. The range of textile, leather and glass products will be improved and expanded. Production of new types of textile products will be introduced and the quality of fabrics and knitting products will improve, in particular by further increasing the wool content.
(8) The food industry will increase production of existing product types, improve their quality and expand their range. This will increase the production of dairy products by more than 10%, fish products by 25%; production of new types of durable pastries will be introduced and production of semi-finished dishes will be increased.
(9) In the local industry and in the production cooperatives, the production and enrichment of the product range will increase and the production of building materials from local sources will increase substantially. The maintenance and repair services of the population will be expanded and improved.
Development of agriculture and forestry.
(1) In crop production, arable land shall be increased by 120.000 hectares. Hectar yields of the main grains will be increased by one fifth, the main oilseeds by more than 30% and hops by almost 10%. In particular, the increase in the yield of hectares will be achieved by increasing fertiliser supply, applying advanced agri-technology and respecting agri-technical deadlines. To ensure a feed base for the further development of livestock production in the coming years, the areas of feed crops will increase and the cultivation of highly profitable crops, particularly silage crops, will increase.
(2) In livestock production, the average performance of livestock will be further increased. To secure it, the feed base will be expanded, the management of central feed funds improved and the feeding technology improved. The production of bovine animals for slaughter and pigs for slaughter shall be increased by more than 10%, the number of calves reared shall increase and the average milking capacity of cows shall be increased by 12%.
(3) The overall scope of the mechanised agricultural work, in particular the scope of the mechanisms for cultivation and harvesting of technical crops, will increase considerably.
(4) State investment construction in agriculture and the loans granted for the construction of single agricultural cooperatives will be significantly increased. The technical level of plant and animal production will be increased.
(5) Agriculture will be strengthened by labour, in particular by young workers. Particular attention will be paid to ensuring qualified workforce for machinery and tractor stations. The conditions for the consolidation and further development of single agricultural cooperatives as well as for increasing the production of individual farm farmers will be created. Assistance to national committees will be enhanced to ensure these tasks. The role of state goods will be enhanced, in particular as regards the use and application of agricultural science, breeding and breeding work, as well as the provision of tasks in the cultivation of uncultivated agricultural land.
(6) Particular attention will be paid to increasing agricultural production in border counties. In the border, the resettlement of agricultural workers will continue, paying attention to the construction and resettlement of particularly those counties where the best conditions are to achieve a high level of agricultural production. In order to fulfil this task, the necessary adaptation will be carried out and investment funds for agricultural construction will be substantially increased as well as the supply of machinery and equipment.
In the forestry sector, more than 12% will be increased in 1955 against 1954. The area of seed in nurseries will increase by almost 10%, allowing increased afforestation in the coming years.
Traffic and connections.
(1) The quantity of goods transported will continue to increase in 1955. In rail transport, 5.4% more goods will be transported, while short-distance transport will be further transferred from rail transport to road transport. The division of transport work between sectors will be improved. The district transport of bulk consignments will expand, thereby improving the services of the population.
(2) The planned performance of rail transport will be achieved by significantly reducing the unit's circulation time to 3,8 days and increasing the average weight of the train. The time of circulation of wagons will be reduced by shortening downtime in technical stations and by shortening the stay of wagons in stations and on trains.
(3) Bus passenger transport will be improved by extending the bus park and reducing the administrative status of buses.
(4) The number of messages and shipments delivered will increase further.
(5) In addition, the number of local telephone networks will increase and further calls will be made to rural areas.
(6) Other municipalities will be involved on the radio. The exhibition of a television transmitter in Ostrava will achieve further development of television broadcasting.
Investment construction, general repairs and construction work.
(1) To ensure the planned development of the national economy, investments will be increased in 1955, particularly in agriculture, fuel and raw materials base development, housing and education and culture. General corrections to basic funds will be substantially increased.
(2) Investment construction will be concentrated and capacity-building reduced. As a result, much more buildings will be completed in 1955 than in 1954. In doing so, the number of built-up buildings will be reduced especially in industry, transport and connections.
(3) Production capacities will be increased by putting new production capacities into operation and expanding existing capacities. In particular, other lumps, agglomeration belts and sulphuric acid, paper and cellulose plants will be put into service. The capacity of stone-coal and brown-coal mines, power plants and coke plants will be expanded. New education schools will be built and opened. The housing construction will be further increased; a minimum of one third of the residential area will be passed on to the user in 1954.
(4) The supply of construction materials, machinery and equipment will be improved. The construction of project and budget documentation will be improved.
(5) The construction companies of the Ministry of Construction will be organised on a territorial basis in line with the focus of investment construction and the increasing share of housing and agricultural construction.
(6) Industrial methods will be introduced on a broad scale in construction. Earth, rock and concrete works will be further mechanized. The use of the current method will significantly increase in residential construction.
Technical development.
(1) Technical development will focus on the development and adoption of the production of new machinery and equipment to increase the level of technology of individual sectors of the national economy, in particular mines, technically lagging industries of industry, agriculture and construction.
(2) Scientific research tasks will focus mainly on the increased use of the domestic raw material base, the further development of industrial, agricultural and construction mechanisms, the adoption of new types of chemical products and medicines.
Growth in the material and cultural levels of the population.
(1) National income growth will be ensured in 1955 by increasing labour productivity as well as by significantly reducing own costs in industry and other sectors of the national economy. Personal consumption will continue to increase.
(2) The number of workers in the national economy will be increased, in particular by including youth and school graduates in the work and by creating additional jobs for women from households and for people with changed job skills.
(3) The growth in labour productivity will be achieved in particular by introducing and intensifying the use of new techniques and by minor mechanisms. In the field of wages, the socialist principle of labour-based remuneration and the principle of material labour-intensive participation in the quantity and quality of work carried out, the cost-effectiveness of production and the level of responsibility will be consistently applied; compliance with wage discipline shall be strictly respected and unjustifiably exceeded wage funds shall be prevented.
(4) In line with the growth in production and labour productivity, the population's incomes will increase further and the retail turnover will increase.
(5) The increased purchasing capacity of the population will be satisfied by increased supplies of industrial and food goods, namely goods of a better and richer range. The supply of textile products of all kinds, in particular knitted and personal linen, will increase substantially. Also engineering products will be delivered significantly more: washing machine by more than 50%, refrigerator by more than 170% and motorcycles twice. The supply of building materials to the internal market shall be increased by more than one third. The supply of meat, meat products, fish products and poultry will be further increased. Fruit deliveries shall be increased by more than 30%, rice by more than 30% and fish by more than 40%.
(6) In order to ensure better trade services to the population, the number of stores, in particular industrial goods stores in the village, will be increased. A car park for the delivery of goods will be added.
(7) The number of beds in health care facilities will be increased, 2.2% of which in maternity and hospital hospitals. The number of medical places will increase by 6.5% and the number of places in the nursery by 3.3%. Medical, preventive and hygienic epidemiological care will be improved.
(8) The construction of general education schools will increase substantially and the network of nursery schools will expand in areas where women's employment will increase.
(9) The network of cultural-awareness facilities will be better used. The number of film performances will be increased and the activities of all institutions providing cultural services to the population will be improved.
Material-technical supplies.
(1) The profitability of the consumption of raw materials, materials, fuel and electricity will be increased by:
(a) examine and further strengthen consumption standards on the basis of the latest technology and technology;
(b) to extend the standardisation of the consumption of raw materials, materials, fuel and electricity to those production sections for which consumption standards have not yet been established;
(c) consistently apply proven and reinforced consumption standards in the management of material-technical supply of production;
(d) ensure the recovery of waste material, in particular on the local economy.
(2) The profitability of the storage of raw materials, materials and finished products will be increased by compliance with the established stock standards, further reducing superstandard stocks and preventing new supernormal stocks.
Development of foreign trade.
The development of foreign trade will provide the necessary imports for growth in production and for a further rise in the standard of living of the population; In particular, food imports and imports of basic textile materials will increase.
Determination, implementation and control of the implementation of the State Plan.
Within the framework of the tasks laid down by law, the government shall establish a state plan for the development of the national economy.
The central government bodies and the national committees shall ensure that all tasks of the state plan are allocated to the workplace, ensure that the plan is carried out evenly, carry out regular checks and take measures in time to avoid disturbances and disturbances.
