Common Market Unity

Richard Burke, a commissioner of the European Economic Community (EEC). told a crowd at Center for European Studies yesterday that the EEC must directly involve citizens of member nations in its policies to maintain European economic integration.

Unless the EEC, the central organization in the European Common Market, broadens its base of support, nationalist feelings may force the member nations apart and make the Common Market "little more than an international trading arrangement," Burke said.

Burke, a former member of the Irish Parliament, is in the U.S. for one week to meet with government officials and members of the academic community
