on the State Plan for the Development of the National Economy of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic for the years 1981- 1985 (Law on the Seventh Five-Year Plan)
Based on the general line of construction of the developed socialist society, the main economic and social development guidelines of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic for the years 1981- 1985 approved by the XVI Congress of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, the results of the development achieved in the past period as well as the evolving internal and external conditions of the current ongoing development of the national economy, the Federal Assembly of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic decided on this law:
BASIC OBJECTIVES AND TASKS OF THE SECOND PULL PLAN
This law sets out the basic objectives and tasks of the National Economy Development Plan of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic for the years 1981- 1985 (hereinafter referred to as the "Seventh Five-Year Plan ') and the decisive conditions for its implementation as a binding directive for the management of the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the Governments of the Republics, the Central and Other Authorities of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the economic activity of the Socialist organisations.
The seventh five-year plan, based on the economic and social policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, is also a key objective of maintaining and improving the high standard of living and social security achieved under significantly more difficult external and internal conditions, in line with the results achieved in the development of the national economy.
In order to achieve this objective and to strengthen the socialist state, the following basic tasks shall be set out:

(b) to create conditions for national income growth of 2-2,6% per year and to cover its increase by increasing social productivity by around 90-95%; achieve the growth of the national income created in advance of its use;
(c) when creating and using a social product and national income, account for a more significant advance in export growth prior to import, the cost-effective use of means for production consumption, in particular for imported raw materials, materials and products, with adequate (in relation to resource creation) satisfaction of the social and personal consumption of the population and the economical use of funds for investment and supplies; reduce the proportion of accumulation in the national income created against previous years,
d) Ensure further deepening of the participation of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in the international division of work, in particular with the States of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance and, in particular, with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
(e) to make more effective use of socialist economic integration, specialisation, cooperation and scientific and technological cooperation to contribute to the growth of the technical level of production, labour productivity, increasing serial and efficiency, and reducing energy and material performance;
(f) increase the export performance of the Czechoslovak economy, reduce its import performance and promote more flexible adaptation of production and foreign trade to the requirements of world markets; create conditions to increase the exchange of goods in foreign trade by 35-40% in foreign prices,
g) continue to solve the key problems of the single Czechoslovak economy and to orient the development of the Czech Socialist Republic and the Slovak Socialist Republic in this direction in a faster economic dynamic in the Slovak Socialist Republic and in order to increase its share of the creation of national resources; to make optimum use of natural and economic development conditions, in particular the production technical base and the increase in the number of working people;
(h) safeguard the country's defence and further consolidate it;
