It will be helpful at this stage to revert to the distinction between the four ‘levels’ at which MNC effects were discussed (in Chapter III). The taxonomy is mainly for analytical purposes. It is not suggested that the policy issues at each ‘level’ should be clearly demarcated and handled by different administrative units? on the contrary, it will be recommended that dealings with MNCs should, with obvious exceptions of issues which can only be dealt with on a national scale, be entrusted to a centralised body and not spread over various departments.
