Cooperation — Fusion p. 35
Leader by Sveinn Björnsson.
Mr. Björnsson underlines that the
present structure of Icelandic indus-
trial enterprises developed when Ice-
land was a rather isolated country
and the enterprises operated behind
tariff walls. By entering the EFTA
group of countries the tariffs will be
gradually lowered and competition
from our highly industrialized neigh-
bours will get stiffer. To meet this
challenge Icelandic enterprises must
consolidate themselves by well plan-
ned cooperation or even fusion into
bigger and more productive com-
panies.

Wind Load in Iceland pp. 36—45

dard on Wind Load on Buildings. In
