 government to come together to discuss economic problems, prospects and 

 opportunities for our countries and for the world. We have been able to 

 achieve not only closer understanding of each other's positions and views 

 but also a large measure of agreement on the basic objectives of our 

 respective policies.

"We welcome the further report of the working group on technology, growth 

 and employment created by the Versailles economic summit and the progress 

 made in the 18 areas of cooperation and invite the group to pursue further 

 work and to report to personal representatives in time for the next economic 

 sunmit. We also welcome the invitation of the Italian Government to an 

 international conference to be held in Italy in 1985 on the theme of 

 technological innovation and the creation of new jobs."
