240 — Le traité d’Amsterdam: Réalités et perspectives. Colloquium at the Universities
Paris I, Paris II and Bordeaux IV, Paris, 27 – 28 February 1998. Paris: A. Pedone, 1999.
176 pp. ISBN: 2–233–00352–7. 140 FF. (Etudes de droit des communautés européennes
8.)
This volume provides a stocktaking of the Treaty of Amsterdam, notably from the point of
view of some of the direct and indirect actors in the negotiation. The themes examined
correspond to those which most marked the Treaty. After an introductory chapter devoted
to negotiation techniques and outcomes, the latter are regrouped around three basic issues.
With Community support of the Third Pillar, a new space has been opened characterized
by a strengthening of basic rights and the establishment of a space for freedom, security
and justice within the Community. The institutional adaptation aims mainly at the
European Parliament, national Parliaments, the European Commission and the Council
focusing on various aspects of their operation. Then the means of improving the
mechanisms of the Second Pillar, the PESC, are likewise examined by the contributors.
Finally, ‘strengthened cooperation’, a notorious innovation of the Treaty, is evaluated in
institutional, functional and financial terms.

241 — L’euro pour l’Europe. Des monnaies nationales à la monnaie européenne, 2nd
edn. Brussels: De Boeck Université, 1999. 99 pp. ISBN: 2–8041–3157–2. 120 FF.
This manual is part of an educational kit conceived with a view to help teachers explain the
reasons behind the establishment of European money to their students. It provides an
historical line of events linked to the Euro: the first attempts right up to decisions taken at
the European Summit of Brussels in May 1998 and the establishment of the Euro on 1
January 1999. It likewise presents the various uses of a single currency: the symbolic
weight of the Euro, its specific effects, the mechanism involved in the change from
national monies to the Euro and the practical consequences. Presented as 80 questions
and answers on the stakes of European money, it also includes 17 figures and charts, a
chronology of important steps which brought about the Euro, pertinent extracts from the
Treaty of the Union, a glossary and an index of key terms.
242 — Evolutions et révolution du contentieux administratif. Paris: Presses Universitaires
de France (PUF), 1999. 112 pp. ISBN: 2–13–050476–0. 128 FF. (Special issue of La
Revue administrative 1999.)
This special number of the La Revue administrative is devoted to the ‘Conseil d’Etat’ and
the changes in the field related to contentious administrative affairs. Important changes
have taken place in French administrative justice in recent years, not limited reform,
measured changes or even prudent innovations, but rather an overall transformation. The
different contributions aim to measure the extent of these changes. Michel Gentot begins
by attempting to discern the role of the regulator in the ‘Conseil d’Etat’ with regard to
jurisdiction, jurisprudence and institution. Etienne Picard raises the question of inter-
national public law in the jurisprudence of the ‘Conseil d’Etat’. Bernard Pacteau compares
the different administrative recourses. Jean-Paul Costa analyses the procedures for carry-
ing out jurisdictional decisions, defines the measures taken and specifies the new powers
given to the administrative judge. Jacques-Henri Stahl devotes his study to appeals to the
highest instance. Finally, Yves Gaudemet treats prevention in contentious administrative
affairs by looking at opinions of the ‘Conseil d’Etat’. Each report is followed by a sum-
mary of the debates. The conclusion by Daniel Labetoulle begins with a look at France’s
heritage from the past and then looks to possible changes in the future.
243 — Management and Funding of Urban Public Transport. Strasbourg: Council of
Europe, 1999. 95 pp. ISBN: 92–871–4126–6. (Local and Regional Authorities in Europe
69.)
This report was prepared and adopted by the Steering Committee on Local and Regional
Democracy (CDLR) from a study of specialized literature and case studies provided by
four national delegations, namely: Finland, Italy, Lithuania and the Russian Federation.
The report endeavours to deal with problems linked to the organization of urban public
transport including management and funding needs for improvement. The report empha-
sizes that transport policy is mainly represented by developments in urban public transport
and that this has an important impact on the sustainability of urban development.

(www.pro.wanadoo.fr/assas-editions), 1999. 136 pp. 78 FF. (Projet 260, Winter
1999–2000.)
This number of the periodical Projet is devoted to the question of the division between the
public and private sectors. The separation would seem to be clear. The private sector aims
to make a profit by responding to particular demands. The public sector, protected from
competition, escapes from the rationale of exchange and provides free services. However,
the division is not quite so distinct. The public sector has increasingly extended its field of
intervention. In the first part, the report emphasizes the changing borders between the two
