The European Union treaty : commentary on the draft adopted by the European Parliament on 14 February 1984

This commentary, prepared by the four legal experts who assisted the European Parliament in drafting the Treaty, compares the solutions advanced by the Parliament with the Community provisions in force. It examines such questions as the nature of the powers to be exercised by the future Union and their development; the place of human rights in European integration; the role of political cooperation and foreign policy; the enlargement of the role of the Court of Justice; the vexed question of the member state's veto powers; and many other issues. It is, therefore, more than an analysis of a particular text: it will be of continuing interest to all students of the European Community and it institutions, and to those who, in the future, will be engaged in their development and reform.
