Club of bologna proceedings

participants 
recommended
that every effort be 
made to extend the Network of testing and 
certification centres for agricultural machinery, 
both within Europe and in other continents, 
following the footsteps of the OECD experience 
for tractors. Given the importance of the issue, 
the participants 
decided
to regularly review 
progress of this initiative. The Club's Technical 
Secretariat was assigned the task of actively

monitoring the development of the sector and 
preparing annual progress reports to be 
presented at future Club meetings. This would 
also facilitate the preparation of a policy 
document for the promotion of this important 
activity and assist the authorities in countries 
considering joining the Network to quickly take 
the appropriate decisions and actions. 
3. Indian Tractor Industry 
This preliminary presentation by G.
 Singh
(A.I.T.) gave a brief analysis of the present 
situation in the Indian tractor manufacturing 
industry and the impressive progress achieved in 
the last 30 years. The situation is continuing to 
change rapidly and at present almost 15 factories 
are producing tractors some through joint 
ventures with well established manufacturers from 
other countries. This interesting report 
convinced
the participants that the subject of tractor 
manufacture in Asia and the Far East should be 
discussed in greater depth at the meeting of the 
Club next year.
