Summary/Abstract: USSR used COMECOM in order to continue exploitation of its own Eastern European satellites and to offer to the West the image of a single, unitary economic policy inside the communist camp. Initially, it seemed that the commercial trade was on the first place; then, after 1953, COMECOM imposed a co-ordination of the member-states economies in the sense of more specialized industrial production. Due to those factors, Romania searched for new opportunities for economic development, especially by tightening relations to the West and China.
