The Single Market and Single Currency haven’t made any diffences, says official French report

Author reviews a report from the Conseil d'Analyse Économique called 'Politique économique et croissance en Europe' (Economic Policy and Growth in Europe) by Philippe Aghion, Élie Cohen et Jean Pisani-Ferry (CAE, 2006, ISBN: 2-11-006149-9, €7).
The CAE is an independent, non partisan advisory body reporting to the French Prime Minister, whose members belong to the academic community, as well as to the business and government sectors. Reports issued by the Council represent the views of their authors only, not those of the CAE (which does not take policy positions) or of the French government.
