Internal policy developments

Article Abstract:

The year 1997 might be considered a forward-looking year in terms of EU internal policy. Much of what was discussed centered around preparations for the future especially in terms of economic and monetary union and a genuine single market. Agricultural policy, structural funds and budget development was laid out for the next few years until about 1999. An increased emphasis was placed on employment policy generally through linkages with many other policy areas.
