TRANSPORT, CONTENTS AND OUTPUTS OF STATE PLANS
§ 13
Creation of state plans
(1) The basic method of drawing up state plans, especially long-term prospects, is to verify and select the most effective directions for meeting the needs of society and for this appropriate development of the economy and its structure.
(2) Optimising the creation of state plans results in the development of value instruments in order to improve socialist money relations and effectively use them to improve the quality, quantity and structure of utility values. This optimisation also results in outputs of state plans against individual central authorities, national committees and socialist organisations.
(3) The optimisation of the creation of state plans according to the criteria of efficiency, balance and structural balance sheets is carried out by the State Planning Commission and the Central Planning Authorities of the Republics in cooperation with the other Central Authorities for the use of prognostic work, in particular the Summary Forecasts of the Scientific, Technical, Economic and Social Development of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, developed by the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the State Planning Commission and the State Commission for Scientific, Technical and Investment Development. It is also based on the concept of the international division of labour, the concepts of the development of Republics, sector development concepts that also benefit from the long-term concepts of the development of socialist organisations, and the international comparison of the state and development of the economy.
(4) The preparation of state plans is used to discuss supplier-customer relations, in which it verifies the consistency of material proportions of the planned binding outputs of state plans.
