Europe: The Europe We Need
(This is a response to Europe's history and the current st...)
This is a response to Europe's history and the current state of the Community. Sir Leon, with his insider's access, examines and explains the crucial, but often mystifying issues facing Europe and its constituent countries: subsidiarity, the pros and cons of a shared foreign policy, trade barriers and the free movement of people, monetary union and the nightmare question of the common agricultural policy. He is candid about the strengths (real and potential) of the Community as well as its limitations.

A Diet of Brussels: The Changing Face of Europe
(During the 1990s, Europe has changed beyond recognition. ...)
During the 1990s, Europe has changed beyond recognition. The decision-makers in the European Commission have had to shape their responses to the opening-up of Eastern Europe, the controversy over the Maastricht Treaty and the creation of the Euro, among many other problems and opportunities. All of these issues will continue to shape Europe's future long into the 21st century. Looking back at his own participation in these developments, Leon Brittan also looks forward to the kind of Europe he feels we should be aiming for: neither a doomsday scenario nor a Utopia, but a Europe which can be created if current trends continue and if sensible but attainable policies are pushed forward with vigour.

European Competition Policy: Keeping the Playing-Field Level
(Sir Leon Brittan, Vice President of the European Commissi...)
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. The series covers all the major issues of competition policy today, and takes a brief look at the future.
