In ten years 80 per cent of the legislation related to economics,
maybe also to taxes and social aff airs, will be of Community
origin." This declaration has been largely quoted, paraphrased and
deformed by different authors, creating a persistent myth according
to which 80% of the legislative activity of the national
legislatures would soon be reduced to the simple transposition of
European norms". This book addresses the topic of the scope and
impact of Europeanization on national legislation, as a part of the
Europeanization debate which raises normative concerns linked to
the "democratic deficit" debate. The state of the art shows that
there are many assumptions and claims on how European integration
may affect national legislation and, more generally, domestic
governance but that there is a lack of solid and comparative data
to test them. The aim of the book is to give a solid and
comparative insight into Europeanization focusing on effective
outcomes in a systematic way. This book analyzes the period
1986-2008 and includes an introduction, a global overview of
European legislative activities which set the background for
Europeanization of national legislatures, 9 country contributions
(8 EU member states + Switzerland) including systematic,
comparative and standardized data, tables and figures, and a
conclusion with a comparative analysis of the European and domestic
reasons for Europeanization. All national contributions conclude
that Europeanization of national legislation is much more limited
than assumed in the literature and public debate. It is limited to
10 to 30% of laws (depending on the country), far less than the 80%
predicted by Jacques Delors and mentioned daily by medias and
public opinion leaders to demonstrate EU domination on member
states. Beside that general statement, the various chapters propose
a deep insight on EU constraint over national legislation,
providing much information on the kind of laws and policies that
are Europeanized, the evolution of this process through time, the
impact of Europeanization on the balance of powers and the
relations between majority and opposition at national level, the
strategies developed by national institutions in that context, and
many other issues, making the book of interest to academics and
policy-makers concerned with Europeanization and national
legislation.
