1992: Removing the Barriers

National Institute Economic Review, 1989, vol. 129, 43-51

Abstract: In the four years that have elapsed since the publication of the European Commission's White Paper on ‘Completing the Internal Market’ in June 1985 understanding of the issues involved in removing the various physical, fiscal and technical barriers to having a ‘single market’ in Europe has developed considerably. The public debate has gone through a series of phases, starting with scepticism, strikingly translated into enthusiasm and almost euphoria during 1988, to be replaced with serious concerns about many specific areas as general principles have come to be replaced by detailed proposals by the European Commission. The member states signed the Single European Act in 1986 for a variety of motives and it is often only when explicit proposals are tabled that the conflicting objectives and detailed implications become obvious.
