Comecon investments have encountered varying conditions abroad which have served as major determinants of the geographical pattern observed in Chapter 3 (Tables 3.3. and 3.4). It was seen that these conditions went well beyond considerations of demand and cost alone, to include such factors as intergovernmental relations, the local regulatory environment and popular attitudes in the host countries.

Canadian barriers of this sort are described in K. Stegemann, Canadian Non-Tariff Barriers to Trade (Montreal: Private Planning Association of Canada: 1973). The Comecon countries have long faced serious obstacles in terms of Western non-tariff barriers, especially with regard to valuation procedures and the related application of anti-dumping rules.
