N2  - "During these two days of discussions, varied viewpoints will be expressed on the difficult and complex problems of the steel sector [in the 1980s]. It is not, therefore, envisaged that this symposium would arrive at any specific recommendations as to the course of actions to be followed. What I do hope is that each of you, in tackling your own problems, will do so with a better understanding of the viewpoints of others and that as a result, a greater degree of consensus might be reached in the search for solutions to the problems of the industry." - From the opening address by the OECD Secretary-General
