This book first published in 1983 is primarily concerned with the economic policies of the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community. It explains in detail how the common market was established and how it was maintained. Free competition cannot be created merely by removing customs duties and quotas: it is also necessary to attack the many non-tariff barriers which would otherwise impede free movement. Moreover the Community sought to develop an industrial policy notably in relation to the ECSC to provide a stance towards declining industries suffering from Developing World competition. |Competition and Industrial Policy in the European Community | Economics
