The Gazette 1972

diction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters signed in September 1968. In considering Legislatures, Professor Brinkhorst de- scribes the process of implementation of Community legislation, including Directives. Dr. Deringer stresses briefly the part played by the European Parliament in Community decision making. Professor Mitchell gives us the benefit of his expert views on Community legis- lation which we have been reading in the Gazette . Dr. Hunnings considers the part played by public Interna- tional Law in the development of the European Com- munities. Dr. Eek of Stockholm considered the problem of neutrality in relation to the Community, particularly a regards Switzerland, Austria, and Sweden. Professor Brinkhorst describes the special relationships of the Netherlands with the Communities as regards the for- mer colonies of the Antilles and Surinam. Dr. Sim- nionds and Mr. Marshall gave us the benefit of their expert views on how Britain's accession to the Com- munity would affect the dependent territories of Africa, as well as New Zealand, Australia, Ca n a da and India. Dr. Van Damme of the College of Europe in Bruges, has examined the relationship of the Benelux countries to the Common Market, while we are indebted to Dr. Petren of Sweden for describing the relationship of the Nordic countries to the Community. Dr. Garrett Fitzgerald has given a useful summary of

the Anglo-Irish Free T r a de Area. In dealing with Com- panies, Professor Schmitthoff has detailed the role of the multinational enterprise in an enlarged European Community. Professor Shulten of Helsinki has kept us informed in detail of developments in Nordic Company' Law. Ou r own Mr. Brendan McGr a th has, as expected, successfully overcome the challenge of the other experts in describing lucidly for us how the British and Irish transport systems would be affected by adhesion to the Community. Dr. Olimb Director of the Norwegian State Railways, has further elaborated these views in a com- prehensive paper. Dr. Maes of the Institute has finally dealt with the Regulation of Agricultural Marketing in the United Kingdom, and the changes that will b e required upon entering the Common Market, while Mr. Mc l n e r n ey of U.C.D. has dealt specifically with the adaptation of Irish agricultural legislation. Dr. Morten- sen of Denmark then describes Agricultural Marketing in Scandinavia. It will be seen that the Dublin Con- ference was very comprehensive, and was exceptionally well organised by the Institute. It is indeed fortunate that, when the question of entry into Europe is 50 topical, we should have the benefit of so many papers on this intricate subject by experts. This volume is highly' recommended to anyone who wishes to obtain the opinion of experts on the Community.
