Common Man’s Guide to the Common Market

The purpose of this revised and extended book is to try to explain how the policies of the European Community are meant to achieve its primary objectives. A short history of the foundation and major events are included and the formal institutions and the actual decision-making processes are explained. Other chapters deal with the major areas of policy derived from Treaty obligations and subsequent declarations of Heads of Governments in the European Council taking their development up to the end of 1986 and agreement on the Single European Act.
