Cia ci rende riconoscenti e graci, consapevoli come siamo che gli schemi della cultura economica delle epoche passate hanno consencito queUe spinte evolutive che sono state capaci di rend ere piu facili le intese fra popoli e individui.

Aggravating the problem is the fact that our knowledge of the quantitative behaviour of air pollutants is quite inadequate. Thus pollution from vehicular exhausts affects the pedestrian and passengers in cars following the pollutant vehicle which speeds ahead immune to its own exhaust. The emission of smoke from industrial furnaces pollutes inhabitants living in the vicinity but not the people working in the air-conditioned guilty factory. In such circumstances, the interplay between social and economic cost and benefit arising out of air pollution becomes unusually complex. It is rendered more intricate by the cumulative causality one notices in social life, whereby the combined interaction of given social and economic factors accelerates the movement of the socio-economic system from initial equilibrium towards ecological imbalance.

C. economic policy towards the Mediterranean : the special case of Malta Authors: Jones, D. R.; Grech, J. C. Abstract: At a meeting of the Association Committee in Luxembourg on April 25th 1972, the Maltese delegation expressed their dissatisfaction with the functioning and results of the EEC/Malta Association Agreement which commenced in April 1971. The delegation stated that although Malta had obtained substantial tariff concessions in the industrial sector, she was 'unable to take advantage of them'. The raison d'etre of the Agreement was to cosolidate and extend the economic and commercial relations, between the EEC and Malta, by the harmonious development of trade. This was made possible under the terms of Article 238 of the Treaty of Rome. 1 It was hoped that the Agreement would result in an extension of Malta's home market for industrial exports which would absorb the existing spare capacity within the industrial sector. It was also seen as a natural extension of European integration, consolidating the political and economic interests involved.

Abstract: I would like to preface my comments by extending a personal but public note of appreciation to the administrators, faculty and students of the Royal University for inviting me to visit and address this distinguished audience of scholars, business men and government officers, this evening on the theme of the 'Anti-Economics' of the European Common Market and its relation to the tax harmonization program of the Community. Perhaps the title of my talk warrants clarification? What is precisely meant by the 'anti-economics' of the European Economic Community for one; and what is meant by 'tax harmonization' for the other? And even more important, why should this distinguished gathering be interested in either one of them?
