Abstract: This 12 page report discusses the regulatory environment of the European Union. The advent of the euro has effectively rearranged the economic playing field in Europe, pushing nations closer to a single trading and financial market, reducing the cost of cross-border transactions, increasing competition. However, it has also resulted in a much more constrained regulatory atmosphere. Social scientists and economists often point to the regulatory burdens applied to business and commerce as one of those weaknesses. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
