  • Pierre Werner, a Visionary European and Consensus Builder’, in Dyson, K
    Pierre Werner, A Visionary European and Consensus Builder1 Elena Danescu, University of Luxembourg Panel on ‘Architects of the euro’, EUSA, Miami, May 2017 Chair: Amy Verdun; Discussant: Erik Jones Abstract As prime minister and finance minister of Luxembourg over 30 years, Pierre Werner played a major role in the building of a united Europe. He gained a strong reputation as a trustworthy consensus-builder between larger powers (Germany and France) and between diametrically opposed positions (‘economists’ and ‘monetarists’), as well as for his ideas on monetary integration. From the early 1950s, Werner advocated a European monetary system based on a currency unit and on a clearing house for central banks. In 1968 he delivered a clear roadmap to EMU, founded on a symmetrical economic and monetary union, with political union as the ultimate goal. Werner’s vital contributions, notably the ‘effective parallelism’ principle, were evident in the Werner Report of 1970, which was offered as the blueprint for EMU in the EU. Based on original sources, this chapter highlights Werner’s contribution as architect of EMU in a threefold way: intellectual contribution, negotiation methods, and consensus building. Key words Pierre Werner; Werner Report; Economic and Monetary Union; euro; supranational institutions; consensus; small states; Luxembourg 1 A version of this paper has recently been published as Danescu, E. (2016) ‘Pierre Werner, A Visionary European and Consensus Builder’, in Dyson, K. and Maes, I., eds., Architects of the Euro. Intellectuals in the Making of Monetary Union, Oxford: Oxford University Press, chapter 5. 5 INTRODUCTION Pierre Werner (1913–2002) was an economist and a lawyer, a politician and a diplomat, and a leading player in the building of a united Europe, in particular in monetary integration.

  • A Multiple-Choice Question
    POLICY PAPER European issues n°316 Who will the Commission's th 11 June 2014 next president be? A multiple-choice question Yves Bertoncini Executive summary and Thierry Chopin The designation of the president of the European Commission requires a joint agreement on the part of the European Parliament and the European Council, which rests neither on the "Westphalia model" (whereby governments alone make the decision) nor on the "Westminster model" (whereby the president belongs to the party ranking first at the European elections). An analysis of the appointments made since 1979 allows us to identify the four main criteria likely to prevail during the negotiations currently getting under way: 1. An initial criterion: The president of the Commission's party affiliation - All of the recent presidents of the Commission have had to rely on majority support from MEPs from the right and from the left (EPP-PES, and even the Liberal Democrats) but the president of the Commission's party affiliation has only one out of two matched that of the party which garnered the highest number of votes in the European elections (see Table 2). - The party affiliation of the president of the Commission has reflected that of the party most heavily repre- sented on the European Council (see Table 3) over the past twenty years (the Santer, Prodi and Barroso Commissions), yet it failed to do so in the years prior to that (the Delors and Thorn Commissions). 2. A crucial criterion: the president of the Commission's personal profile - The president of the Commission should be chosen first and foremost on the strength of his ability to perform the functions described in Article 17 of the Treaty on the European Union.

The Use of International Accounting Standards in the European Union Dr. Alexander Schaub* 2005 is a watershed year for the application of International Accounting Standards (1ASs) in the European Union. From the first of January this year, all listed European companies must prepare their consolidated accounts using IASs or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).1 This requirement representsa quantum leap in the use of a single consistent set of accounting standardsfor capital markets in the European Union. I. THE BACKGROUND OF THE E.U. DECISION TO USE IASS A. Creation of Internal Market The E.U. treaty does not expressly provide for the harmonization of accounting standards as a Community objective. Rather, this objective has developed organically from the need to harmonize company law requirements for the creation of an internal market. Because of the substantial economic, social, welfare and political benefits, the E.U.

  • Appointment of the Commission: Parliament's Role Before 1995
    Appointment of the Commission: Parliament's role before 1995 SUMMARY In September 2014, the Commissioners-designate for the Juncker Commission will be required to appear before the European Parliament’s committees as part of the procedure for the approval of the European Commission. This will be the fifth set of hearings to be held since 1995. But what about the Commissions prior to 1995? Did Parliament already have a role to play in the new Commission’s appointment in those days? With this briefing we provide a short account of the procedure used before 1995 and the long road which Parliament had to take to have its say in the appointment of the Commission. It has always been the tradition for each President of the Commission, when taking office, to deliver a general policy statement before Parliament. Until 1981, when Parliament approved the appointment of the Thorn Commission with its resolution of 12 February, the newly nominated President of the Commission gave a speech to Parliament in plenary. However, no vote of approval or of confidence was taken until 15 January 1985, when the first vote of confidence was passed in the first Delors Commission. Formal hearings of commissioners-designate were introduced as a result of the Maastricht Treaty. The first Commission to be subject to this new procedure was the Santer Commission in 1995.
