A Diet of Brussels
An insight into the changing face of Europe from Britain's longest-serving Commissioner, Leon Brittan. Looking back at his own participation in developments, Brittan also looks forward to the kind of Europe he feels we should be aiming for if attainable policies are pushed forward with vigour.
Competition Policy and Merger Control in the Single European Market
In two lectures delivered in February 1990 at the University of Cambridge, Sir Leon Brittan, who is the Vice-President of the European Commission & the Commissioner for Competition, examines the jurisdictional basis for the operations of the European competition rules & the scope & range of the Merger Regulation.
The Civil Service in Britain Today
An up-to-date look at the British Home Civil Service. The book considers the Service at the end of a period of reform which began in the 1980s, asking questions concerning the degree of politicization within it during the Next Steps and other reform programmes.
European Competition Policy
Sir Leon Brittan, Vice President of the European Commission responsible for Competition Policy and Financial Institutions, gave a series of 13 lectures at the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels. This set of policy statements, produced by the Centre for European Policy Studies, has now been turned into a book. It sets out Sir Leon's views on the impact of the EC's competition policy on the following issues: financial services, transport, international relations, cohesion and the regions, postal services and telecommunications, the public sector and state aid.
Globalisation Vs. Sovereignty? The European Response
Sir Leon Brittan, Vice-President of the European Commission, has worked at the very highest levels of the European Union for most of the last decade. Sir Leon has shaped some of the landmarks of European policy, including the development of new political and economic relations between the EC and the former satellite states of the Soviet Union, has been Europe's architect of the most ambitious global trade deal ever undertaken, and has been responsible for the dramatic evolution in Europe's competition policy and the building of strong European relations with the United States, China, Japan, and many other countries. In this publication, some of Sir Leon's most important speeches are gathered together. They explain in clear and succinct terms what the implications of European integration are in the context of an increasingly globalised international economy. How should traditional concepts of sovereignty be adapted? What is the real logic and purpose of European Economic and Monetary Union? How should the transatlantic relationship develop after the Cold War? These and many other questions are tackled in a comprehensive and readily accessible way.
Europe After the 'no' Votes
Professor Patrick Messerlin of the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, argues that the NO votes in the French and Dutch referenda on the proposed EU constitution highlight the need to design an economic agenda for the future of the EU congruent with its fundamental purpose. The NO votes show that the EU cannot be a European 'super-state' providing a wide range of social policies, but must return to the modest role originally set out in the slim Treaty of Rome. Professor Messerlin shows how liberalisation of agriculture, manufacturing and services, and engagement with widely held fears about globalisation, must be an essential part of future reform of the EU. Former European Commissioner Lord Brittan and leading European scholars Professor John Gillingham and Professor Pedro Schwartz provide commentaries on Messerlin's analysis. This book will prove essential reading for those concerned with the future of the European Union as it maps out a positive way forward for the EU after its turbulent recent past.
