The countries of Central and Eastern Europe have adopted privatisation programs aimed at transforming their traditional government-controlled industrial and service monopolies into competitive enterprises.

In this paper, we discuss the privatisation schemes developed by the countries of the region and analyse the issues underlying technology transfer.
