Abstract
By now the need for a code of conduct for technology transfer has been accepted by all groups of countries represented at the UN. Both the proposals of the Group of 77 and the counterproposals of the Western Industrial countries were submitted in early December 1975 to the first session of the UNCTAD Commission on Transfer of Technology and will become subject of international negotiations at UNCTAD IV at Nairobi in May 1976. There are chances that the Code could become reality before the end of 1977.
