Single Market Review:
During 1997 EUR-OP and Kogan Page have been progressively publishing the titles in the major new series Single Market Review. This is a set of thirty nine volumes detailing the results of an exercise undertaken by the European Commission in 1996 assessing the progress made in implementing the Single Market Programme (SMP). The thirty nine volumes look at specific business sectors or Single Market issues, plus a business survey. Each report has been compiled by leading subject experts and co-ordinated by the Commission.

The first titles published in the series were described in 'Recent publications of interest' in European Access, No.3, 5 and 6, 1997. Recently, there has been a positive flood of new titles, brief details of which are noted below.

This study considers the effects of the SMP on the motor vehicles sector. The scope of the study includes car and truck manufacturers in the EU but excludes agricultural vehicles, construction vehicles and two- and three-wheeled vehicles. The primary focus is on motor vehicle assemblers, with an examination of the impact of the SMP on component suppliers in terms of the changes in sourcing, outsourcing and procurement patterns of the assemblers.
