Europe must change to face the critical challenges ahead. This most distinguished and experienced group of key European opinion-formers offer a sharp critique of existing institutions and a ten-point plan for a fulfilment of the pro-European vision. An institutional structure initially conceived for a community of six must be radically transformed to serve a potential union of some thirty members. The transition to economic and monetary union, the legitimacy crisis of European institutions are among the crucial issues discussed. Jacques Delors assesses the reform proposals in his foreword.
The European Commission is arguably the world's most powerful
international administration. It plays a central role in the
political system of the European Union. The Commission is a
permanent presence in the life of the member states, but its
influence is felt far beyond their borders. Viewed historically as
the motor of European integration, the Commission is the subject of
intense controversy. It is portrayed frequently as technocratic,
monolithic, and unaccountable, but also as fragmented and weakly
led. According to accepted wisdom, it is populated by career
bureaucrats, who want only to expand the competencies of the Union
and therefore their own power.
Over the last decade, the EU has become a major actor in the field of risk regulation in crucial areas such as environmental and consumer protection. This book analyzes the reasons which have prompted this development, and discusses the ways in which the EU's structures and modes of market governance have changed and attempted to respond to such challenges.
This book provides a broad-ranging assessment of the Court's
contribution to the integration process. It shows how the Court has
taken advantage of opportunities when they have arisen in the
European political process to "constitutionalize" the founding
treaties and to exert a strong influence on policy decisions. It
also examines challenges confronting the European Union and
examines why the Court's active role has not encountered greater
opposition and analyzes the implications for the Court of current
issues.
