Stuck on the slow track to Europe

Article Abstract:

Governments across Europe are now having to deal with the conflict between the need for a transport infrastructure to allow competitive business and the opposition of the general public to environmental damage. These tensions have largely been handled successfully in France, Germany and the Netherlands, while in the UK business confidence in the government's transport policy has fallen to very low levels. UK investment in transport infrastructure has been much lower than the European average, and transport policy has remained uncoordinated.

Out of the hinterland, into Europe

Article Abstract:

Tristan Garel-Jones, Minister of State at the Foreign Office in 1990, was involved in Mrs Thatcher's removal and in the negotiation of the Maastricht treaty. He originates from Wales and ran a language school in Madrid for ten years. He is an intellectual Conservative, married to a Spaniard and very keen on Europe. He supported Mr Douglas Hurd in the leadership election but is a friend of Mr Major, the Prime Minister. He has defended the ratification of the Maastricht treaty and sees parliamentarianism and Europe as complementary.

Britain's failure, or all Europe's?

Article Abstract:

There is a feeling of dejection in Europe is caused by incomprehension of the system and apprehension about the future. The end of the Cold War has left a void in which a new international system is sought. Uncertainty prevents states from solving the economic crisis. Globalisation has created a crisis of politics. The fundamental principles of the EC should help these problems, but Europeans are indifferent to it.
