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

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

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.
