THE LAW
of 6 March 1963
on popular control and national economic records
The development of production forces and the performance of demanding tasks in the construction of an advanced socialist society requires continuous improvement of management and efficiency of control, which is an integral part of management at all stages. In line with the principles of our socialist constitution, in particular the principle of democratic centralism, and in line with the further deepening of socialist democracy, it is necessary to consolidate the central management of society and the state and to strengthen the efficiency of governance by extending all forms of direct participation of workers in management, in particular by developing effective control and the full use of national economic records. Under the conditions of a gradual transition to a popular state, people's control, organised by the Commission of People's Control, by the elected and responsible people, must contribute to this, which will develop state and social control in line with and under the direction of the authorities and organisations of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.
