THE RT HON GEORGE THOMSON : Address to The European Movement, Brussels. 1st March 1976 THE TINDEMANS REPORT AND THE EUROPEAN FUTURE

need to pool our national policies on development aid and to find ways to speak with a single voice in the Third World it is no good seeking to solve a national unemployment problem by exporting unemployment across one's neighbour's frontier
we have set up a new inter-services unit to monitor on a ' regular basis the various instruments of structural change -the Social and Regional Funds
a great deal of hard thinking
blueprints to deal with the new unemployment problem can be as dangerous as the blueprints of European Union
start with the real world and the real world is described sombrely and with sadness by Mr Tindemans
there is a difficult political act of will by those responsible for both the stronger and the weaker economies
it means a willingness by national governments and national Parliaments to accept a certain code of Community economic discipline in the common interest
at present it is bedevilled by national calculations of how much national Treasuries pay into the Community Budget, and how much they get out
it is as if the success of a marriage and a family were to be judged mainly by the monthly sessions between husband and wife over the housekeeping accounts
on the discipline side, there may be advantage to Member States facing economic weaknesses if they were ff':{]Alfzvn! 4-z> ~~ }JP'Ucier to give up defensive national weekness and stop saying that a special exception should be made to allow them to do things their own national way
it will be a second best even for them and a third or fourth best for those unable to be members of the magic inner circle
it will make Europe a partial spectator in the great decisions that will be taken in the search for a new world order decisions on which living standards of our children depend
