About this book

Much of the contemporary discussion of 'Europe' in the national press of different European member-states, as well as in other media of the new Europe, focuses, very heavily, on the one hand, on the fast-approaching launch of the common currency in eleven of the member-states, and, on the other, to a slightly lesser extent, on the prospects for the enlargement of the liberalised European market (of 370 million people and consumers) to embrace the so-called Visegrad Quartet, thereby adding a further 110 million.2
