The European Commission has promoted a number of projects in this direction. The ultimate aim is to create a community of equal Europeans. See ANNEX 1. ++ EUROPE THROUGH THE EYES OF ITS PUBLIC An average of seven out of ten people (69 %) are in favour of direct elections to the European Parliament. Only 14 % are against. The silent majority emerges in Euro-barometer No 6 of Novembe 1976. The 9000 people interviewed had other interesting verdicts on the Europe of today as well as tomorrow. See ANNEX 2. ++ THE NEW EUROPEAN COMMISSION Annex 1 of Euroforum No 2 dated 11 January 1977 contained a typing error in the list of the Members of the new European Commission. Euroforum reproduces this list in ANNEX 3. ++ PRIORITIES FUR '!HE EUROPEAN COMMISSION The fight against unemployment, the protection of consumers, and the struggle towards economic convergence in the Community countries are the prior concerns of the European Commission during the next few months. This was agreed at one of the Jenkins Commission's first meetings held at the Chateau de Val Duchesse just outside Brussels. Does the location hold any significance ? More than twenty years ago the same building saw some of the most important discussions take place within its walls in the drafting of the Treaty of Rome. ++ OLD SOLDIERS BA TI'LE FOR EUROPE A symbolic ceremony recently took place within the walls of the European Commission in Brussels. A former soldier of the German Wehrmacht was decorated with the French 'Chevalier of the Legion of Honour' cross by Officer of the Legion of Honour, Mr. Raymond Triboulet, who was first Under Prefect of Free France (at Bayeux) and a former minister under General de Gaulle, and is also an Officer of the Legion of Honour and a Commandeur du Merite of the Federal Republic of Germany. He presented the award to Mr H. Greffrath, assistant Secretary • General of the European Confederation of ex-Servicemen and Secretary • General of the German section for his work towards improving Franco­ German relations and the unity of Europe • • The ceremony took place at the invitation of the European Commission's Inforrna tion services during a visit of the E~ecuti ve committee of the ~uropean Confederation of ex-servicemen to Brussels. .A.J ....................... Wll .uv I' ( ( - .J..{ ,, J.(f ( ( - P· "'t ++ THE ECONOMIC SITUATION AS SEEN BY INDUSTRY '!he volume of orders on the books of Community industry is still insufficient, according to a survey carried out last December. Expected demand has deteriorated since May 1976, when it reached the high point during this period of economic recovery. Pessimism is most noticeable in the consumer goods industry and seems to be directed at the home market, since foreign demand has stayed at roughly the same level. The survey shows a certain amount of swelling in stocks of finished goods, again mostly consumer goods. Finally, the pressure on prices seems to be getting greater : in the consumer goods and investment goods sectors, industry bosses expect a more rapid rise in sales prices. ++ UPS AND DOWNS OF COMMUNITY CAR PRODUCTION During the period 1963-1975 the annual production of private cars in the Community of the Nine has risen from 6.6 million in 1963 to 8.7 million in 1975, steadily increasing until 1973 (10.7 million) and falling off during the periods 1973/74 and 1974/75· Export trends and registrations of private and commercial cars have followed a parallel development. In 196J, 2.8 million cars were exported from the Community and 4.8 million in 1975, the highest point being reached in 1973 with 5.7 million. During the same period, registrations have risen from 4.8 to 6.8 million, with a record of 7.9 million in 1973. The most recent information for the year 1976 indicates that the production of private and commercial vehicles in the Community has grown by about 17% compared with 1975, with an increase of 6 - 8% for the United Kingdom and Italy, 15- 17% for France, and 20 - 22% for Germany. Production for 1976 should be about the same level as 1971 (10.1 million). Forecasts of exports of private and commercial cars for 1976 gives an estimated overall increase of 13% compared with 1975, with a fall for the United Kingdom and rises of 3 - 5 % for Italy, 8 - 10 % for France and 28 - 30 % for Germany. This data is taken from a statistical study of the world and Community car industry, recently published in the Quarterly Bulletin of Industrial Production (No 3/1976) of the Statistical Office of the . European Communities. • ++ AGRICULTURE 1976 IN THE COMMUNITY • The development of agriculture and agricultural markets during 1976 has been presented in an unique 450-page document only recently published. It includes a written commentary and searching statistical data on Community agriculture. The small format (16 em x 23 em) is very handy and makes a precious companion for anyone connected with or interested in agricultural problems. The report is available in the six official Community languages from the Office for Official .t!JUL"Ol.UL"Wil l~U 2f (( - ...L.e~e...L.Zf...L. - !J• J Publications of the European Communities, PO Box 1003, Luxembourg. ++ MORE INFORMATION ON MULTINATIONALS (cont.) A Member of the European Parliament has asked whether the European Commission is prepared to forward a survey on mul.tina tional companies to the Parliament. ~~ Van der Hek asks what are the conclusion drawn from the document, 'the first phase of an attempt to compile the first­ ever world inventory of large, medium-sized and small multinationals'. (see Euroforum No 22/76, lJ July 1976) In its replay to Mr Vander Hek, the Commission says that it will be forwarding the document to Parliament "at an early date". The conclusions drawn by the Commission are ~!at the main lesson it learned from this initial study was the difficulty involved in reaching "an objective and realistic"assessment of the world-wide phenomenon of the "multinationalisation of firms" due to the lack of comparable and regular information on the subject. On closer examination, the nature, size and activities of multinationals turn out to be much more diverse than would normally have been expected. The number and variety of multinational concerns, particularly those based in Europe, should not be underestimated. The Commission adds that the approach it adopted in compiling the list, by way of experiment, gave rise to "both technical and psychological problems" when it came down to details. The Commission is therefore currently looking for new ways and methods of finding out more about the problems associated with multinationals, either through its own effort or by participating in the work carried out by other international organisations in this field such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris and the United Nations. ++ COMMUNITY AID 'lD INCREASE AGRICULTURAL EFFICIENCY More than 190 million units of account (1 ua = approx US¢ 1.1) have been granted by the European Commission through the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) for more than 600 projects designed to increase the efficiency of European Agriculture. The aid will benefit projects as diverse as the building of machinery for grading and stocking potatoes in County Donegal (Ireland), reafforestation in Lower Saxony, the construction of a vegetable packing centre in the province of Antwerp, the rationalisation of a Norresundby slaughter­ house in Denmark, planning a system of loading ships through harboux silos in Rouen (France), the construction of fishing boats in Catane (Italy), and the construction of a factory for making mushroom • compost in Ottersum (the Netherlands) • ++ ASBESTOS AND YOUR HEALTH Too much asbestos in the air and in beverages such as wine is causing great concern throughout Europe.

  • Citizen Engagement in Voting System Reform
    Renewing Canadian Democracy: Citizen Engagement in Voting System Reform Phase One: Lessons from Around the World Law Commission of Canada/Fair Vote Canada Joint Research Project March 2002 Prepared by Dennis Pilon York University This paper was prepared for the Law Commission of Canada under the title “Renewing Canadian Democracy: Citizen Engagement in Voting System Reform. Phase One: Lessons from Around the World." The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission. The accuracy of the information contained in the paper is the sole responsibility of the author. ii Summary The voting system as a particular component of democratic practice has come under increasing scrutiny in the last decade. Reform of existing voting systems in countries like New Zealand, Italy and Japan, along with the rebuilding of democratic institutions in Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America, has focused popular and academic attention on how different voting systems work and what effects they may have on democratic processes. Lessons from Around the World, prepared by Dennis Pilon, York University, reviews the relevant experience with voting system reform from around the world, both past and present, and the degree and nature of citizen engagement involved. The objectives of the paper are threefold: to demonstrate how voting system reforms have occurred historically and the specific political conditions that have facilitated them; highlight the role of citizen participation in the process, both its limits historically and potentially today; and, draw out some of the practical lessons from this experience to help determine how voting system reform might become and issue in Canada, and how citizens might best become involved.

This report has been prepared by the TUC as a discussion paper for the trade union movement. Getting it in Proportion? This Touchstone Extra pamphlet sets out the arguments for and against changing Britain’s electoral system. It puts the debate in context by summarising the political and historical background against which our democracy has developed, examines how well the existing system works and looks at possible reasons for change. It describes the various alternative electoral systems, discusses the practicalities of change and concludes with a useful comparison of different systems and their advantages and disadvantages. It is not intended to draw any final conclusion about whether or not electoral reform is needed, but rather to be used as a starting point for further debate. Touchstone Extra These new online pamphlets are designed to complement the TUC’s influential Touchstone Pamphlets by looking in more detail at specific areas of policy debate raised in the series. Touchstone Extra publications are not statements of TUC policy but instead are designed, like the wider Touchstone Pamphlets series, to inform and stimulate debate.

The paper argues that those longer-term trends continue and that the (s)election of Jean-Claude Juncker as President of the European Commission and the structural reforms he subsequently introduced are better understood as steps in ongoing processes rather than fresh departures. Thus, what will happen in 2019 will have been conditioned not only by 2014, but also by previous elections and previous developments, as considered in this paper.
