Old
Europe? Demographic change and pension reform
by David
Willetts MP, September 2003
US Defence Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld was onto something when he classified the
current EU countries as 'old Europe'. Germany, France
and Italy together will have more than 70 million
people over 60 in 2040. The fact that Europeans are
leading longer, healthier lives is to be welcomed.
The problem is that they are not producing enough
babies, so that the ratio of workers to pensioners
is rising relentlessly. David Willetts, in this highly
original and thoroughly researched report, addresses
a number of common fallacies in the ageing debate.

Transatlantic
rift: How to bring the two sides together
by Charles Grant, July 2003
The Iraq conflict divided
the West into two hostile camps. The rifts that run
across the Atlantic and among the Europeans show few
signs of disappearing. Charles Grant's report shows
how human error and longer-term economic, political
and military changes have undermined western unity.
He concludes that a healthy transatlantic relationship
is not possible so long as Britain and France hold
very different views on how to deal with the US. They
should jointly agree on the idea of a stronger Europe
that is usually supportive of US policies, but one
that is capable of acting autonomously and saying
no the US on matters of vital importance.

Corporate
social responsibility in the EU
by
Alasdair Murray, July 2003
Europe
wants faster growth. But it also wants social fairness
and a healthy environment. This is why companies in
the EU are under growing pressure to broaden their
focus from pure profits to policies of corporate social
responsibility (CSR). This CER report argues that
the EU can and should play an important role in promoting
CSR. But it also warns that such steps should be a
supplement, not a substitute, for traditional forms
of regulation. EU attempts to encourage CSR are still
in their infancy. Both enterprises and trade unions
are sceptical whether the EU should intervene in this
area. Business leaders suspect that the European Commission
will use CSR as an excuse to introduce more red tape.
