Progress towards European integration. Survey of the main activities of the European Parliament JULY 1987 - JUNE 1988

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT Progress towards European integration Survey of the main activities of the European Parliament JULY 1987 - JUNE 1988 DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR RESEARCH PE-I-0O26OENO1/07-87 PI', 122.600 NOTE TO THE READER Like its predecessors, this study, covering the period from July 1987 to June 1988, gives an account of the European Parliament*s activities and attempts to place the latter in the more general context of European integration. It was completed on 15 July 1988. Special attention has been paid in this year's issue to Parliament's response to the challenge posed by the cooperation procedure and the new policies contained in the Single European Act. Readers will find background information on all the Community's activities in the 'Fact Sheets', the fourth edition of which is due to be published in autumn 1988 (PE 122.000). These two series of studies may be said to complement each other, given that one summarizes the activities of the Community since its establishment while the other recounts in detail the activities of the European Parliament in a particular year. To facilitate cross-referral between the two, the subject headings - most notably in the discussion of the various common policies - have wherever possible been arranged in identical order. This document does not necessarily reflect the views of the EuroDean Parliament as an institution. EN(88)2334E - 1 - PE 122.
