The European Commission has set up a network in the United Kingdom to provide information on its policies and programmes. The network consists of EURO INFO CENTRES (EICs) and EUROPEAN DOCU­ MENTATION CENTRES (EDCs). EICs serve their local business com­ munity with up to date information on funding and legislation. EDCs cater mainly for students and academics by maintaining a stock of all major official publications for consultation. The Information Services Unit of the European Commission at 8 Storey's Gate, London SWIP 3AT publishes a leaflet giving the location of the network centres. There is also a complete catalogue of EC publications and documents available on CD-ROM. It is called EUROCAT and contains records from 4 official databases. It is co-published by The Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, Chadwyck-Healey and ELLIS Publications. If you want to fathom the meaning of the endless acronyms and titles such as JOPP, THERMIE, CEDEFOP, LEDA and so on, there is a compre­ hensive list in a booklet Sources of European Community Funding, 2nd Edn.

The Dutch government, which heads the Coun­ cil for the rest of this year, hopes that the ministers will be able to find political solutions to legal issues that the Council's working party so far has failed to re­ solve at its weekly meetings. But Community officials are increasingly doubtful whether the problems can be solved hy the end of 1976, the deadline for implementing the proposed system for the 1978 Connnunity Budget. In 1973 the Europe?n Commission had proposed harmoni­ zation of the VAT base in order to facilitate calculation of part of the Community Budget starting in '78 (Common Market Reports, Par. 3165). This proposal followed up on the Council's 1970 decision that the contributions to the Budget now derived from agricultural levies and customs du­ ties should be augmented as of 1979 by national VAT revenue obtained by applying a rate not exceeding 1% on a uniform assessment base.

The EEC and the Consumer Miceal Ross, ESRI. In my approach to the topic I wish to be somewhat more general than merely considering the aspect of food prices although I intend to give these special attention. My comments must necessarily be brief and in many cases tentative as I am currently engaged in a steady of the impact of the EEC on Ireland) both North and South. In making this study I have had the support of the Committee for Social Research in Ireland whose offices are located here in Belfast. My first point is to restate that a consumer is generally a producer viewed from a specific aspect. The producer’s concern is to obtain income and the consumers to get the most value from this income. In a period of inflation the consumer’s standard of living will rise if the general price rise is slower than the rise in his income as a producer. In the Republic this has been true for large segments of the population though inevitably there have been the usual, victims of inflation - frequently pensioners and lenders. Any consideration of the EEC’s impact on the consumer must be supplemented by an investigation of the Community’s impact on the income which he or she has to spend and this is something to which I hope to return briefly later on.

This still leaves open the question of ratification (where necessacy) by national parliaments and that of legislating to organize the elections themselves, hopefully for May or June 1978. But there is some optimism that all this can be done in time. The other main issues arising this week were research, the drought and its aftermath, the proposed vegetable oils tax, competition and what can be learned from the Seve so disaster. Green light for European elections Laurens Jan Brinkhorst, Dutch Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and current President of the Community's decision-taking Council of Ministers, told the European Parliament on September 15th that the Council would take the final decision on European elections when it met in Brussels on September 20th.

Though the green pound may be regarded as a short-term tactic, some short- term tactics turn into long-term measures which affect the eventual objectives and the options available to policy makers. The green pound is an example of a short-term 'European' tactic which is likely to affect considerably the long-term objectives of UK agriculture.

The Conservative Research Department, ANSW/ASD 24 Old Queen Street, London, SWl 21.5.79 0 I ii I,rOdu(:I.I ()ii Labour's Manifesto is certainly a curious document. It advertises itself as having been adopted by the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party, but it certainly does not appear to have been adopted - to say the least, - by Mr. Callaghan himself, either last January as Prime Minister or later as Leader of the Opposition. Indeed he has shown his hostility to it - and to its sponsors including Mr. Wedgwood Benn - on several occasions. It must be the first occasion in British political history that a major Party has fought an election on a Manifesto to which its leadership was overtly opposed. Usually the Labour Party manages its affairs better. The normal procedure starts with the production of a draft by the National Executive with the usual calls for wholesale nationalisation, increased public expenditure and defence cuts. Battle is then joined between the NEC and the Parliamentary leaders and a compromise document emerges which is judged by the Parliamentary leaders to be sufficiently innocuous not to lose too many votes; but one or two hunks of good red Socialist meat are always left in order to satisfy the left without offending any large or powerful sseeLion of the electorate.

  • The Lib-Lab Pact’
    The parliamentary agreement between the Labour Party and the Liberal Party 1977- 1978 ‘The Lib-Lab Pact’ Jonathan Kirkup July 2012 A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD. Cardiff School of European Languages, Translation and Politics Cardiff University Summary of Thesis This thesis is a chronological case study into the origins, operation and consequences of the Lib-Lab Pact 1977-1978. Cross-party co-operation in British politics since 1945 is assessed. David Steel’s election as Liberal Party leader, his political philosophy and strategy are examined. Concepts of realignment, ‘co- operation strategy’ are explored. The parliamentary and political events together with a detailed assessment of the inter-party negotiations which led the Pact are examined. New perspectives include: the significance of the leader-led nature of the negotiation process; the Labour-Ulster Unionist understanding which ran concurrent with the Pact; the importance of Lib-Lab discussions on devolution which pre-dated the Pact in influencing Steel’s subsequent decision-making. Analysis focuses on the Lib-Lab negotiations into if the Direct Elections to the European Parliament Bill should include a proportional voting system and whether the parliamentary Labour party should be compelled to vote for PR. A key finding of the thesis is that rather than allowing a free vote, as was agreed, the Prime Minister, James Callaghan, was prepared to offer the Liberals a ‘pay roll’ vote; the significance of Michael Foot in this process is also noted. The structure of the Lib-Lab consultative mechanism is reviewed. Case studies include a review of on Liberal policy influence on the Budget 1977 and 1978.
