Motor Industry

The different rates of technical progress in Western Europe and the United States, exemplified by the motor industry, created a problem of adjustment in international payments by the 1920s. American direct investment in manufacturing in Europe was a manifestation of technological superiority and a partial solution to the payments problem. The scale of their operations gave the American motor vehicle firms an advantage even in foreign production. An alternative way of closing the technological gap, the transfer of machine tools and trained men from America to Europe, allowed the European motor vehicle producers to compete without becoming entirely American-owned.

GLP implementation in Europe is complicated by a “diversified” approach. European toxicology testing facilities must be aware not only of their own national regulations but also of the requirements of other European countries as well as several significant non-European nationalities (the United States and Japan). This presentation briefly describes four EEC directives pertaining to GLP implementation in Europe. These directives provide for (1) performance of audits and inspections by member states; (2) EEC distribution of information regarding GLP compliance; (3) harmonization of inspections and unification of criteria; (4) certification of GLP compliance; and (5) provision of mechanisms to adapt the directives to technical progress.
