At this RT a Permanent Study Group (PSG) for Transition and Privatization, consisting of 20 renowned scientists and experts from 10 countries and five international organizations was set-up. It was anticipated that the group should meet periodically so as to consider the progress made in this area in order to make appropriate recommendations to the governments of the transitional countries.

They were devoted to the experiences with the privatization and/or privatization projects in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Croatia and the FR of Yugoslavia.
