Half-time in the European Parliament—Expectations, reality, outlook
Intereconomics1982Vol. 17(1), pp. 3–6
Abstract
The European Parliament was set up by direct elections in June 1979. Great expectations had been placed in these direct elections with regard to the further development of the European Community. Now, half-way through the Parliament’s five-year term, a certain Euro-weariness is gaining ground. Had expectations been pitched too high? How is the work of the European Parliament so far to be assessed? What are the prospects for the future?

Some texts prefer the term Community and others Union. Some commentators are even confused themselves and use terms wrongly. In addition, there are many excellent texts on the market, as well as leading law reports from the ECJ, that were produced before the structural changes and name changes that occurred from 1992. These texts are still relevant, so it is necessary to understand that some treaties have changed their names over time, can be called by several names concurrently and have changed their article numbering systems.(2012)
