BRITISH MANAGEMENT DATA
FOUNDATION

The general format of this book follows 'The Maastricht Treaty in Perspective - Consolidated Treaty on European Union’ and 'The Treaty of Amsterdam in Perspective - Consolidated Treaty on European Union', both published by the British Management Data Foundation.

The general approach is that the new provisions introduced by each successive Treaty should be placed in the context of the preceding Treaties and the differences highlighted in order that the implications can be fully understood and how the fundamental law of the Community has been altered and developed.

This BMDF publication of 482 pages on A4 paper consolidates all these changes into the existing treaties and puts them in bold text for clarity. In addition, in order for the implications to be better understood, a full analysis is included of the increase in the powers of the European institutions resulting from the new Treaty.

An important section of some 165 pages illustrates in detail how the powers or 'Competences' have developed from the original Treaty of Rome and the Single European Act through the Maastricht Treaty to the Treaty of Nice. This also acts as a summary of the Treaties and enables the situation on any particular subject to be followed through with much greater understanding than is otherwise possible.
