⁶ An attempt was made to ensure the comparability of the interview data by selecting técnicos of roughly similar status in the various national offices of integration. Most of the interviews were carried out with heads of departments within the national offices of integration—e.g., with the chief of the judicial department or the person charged with overseeing industrial programming decisions. With the exception of Chile, interviews with members of the private sector were also included in each of the countries. Officials of business organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce or industrialists directly affected by Andean Pact provisions were selected.

⁹ There are two possible biases in the use of Grupo Andino as a source for the event data. In the first place, the periodical may over-emphasize cooperative activity and minimize conflict between members. However, since the event data are used to assess relative amounts of activity among the pact members, this possible bias may be assumed to be randomly distributed. Secondly, since Grupo Andino is published in Lima, Peruvian activity in the Andean Pact may be over-reported. And the event data do indicate that Peru is the most active member. While recognizing this possible limitation, it should be noted that the event data are largely supported by the interview data.

¹⁴ Since the time these data were collected, revisions in Decision 24 have been made. These changes generally consist of the relaxation of some minor provisions of the code.
