Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, managed to erase "free and undistorted competition" from the proposed new EU Treaty as a main aim of the European Union. Afterwards, he asked rhetorically what competition has done for Europe. This article is an attempt to reply to that very important question. The view of competition and its effects among decision-makers is likely to affect numerous policy outcomes. Throughout history, there has been a struggle between freedom and control in Europe. Competition is the result of economic freedom and the absence of interventions in the economy by the state. And it has done very much indeed for Europe. It may be the single most important reason why the average income in Western Europe is 14 times higher today than in 1820. If anything, Europe needs mo...

The traditional notion among trade economists is that governments perceive imports to be detrimental and accept them only in exchange for foreign market access. In contrast, the results of a survey of the national missions at the WTO presented in this article indicate that governments see substantial benefits in domestic trade liberalization. For most governments, these benefits approximately balance the associated costs. Countries appear to complain about being forced to open markets for political rather than economic reasons.

Although the Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration officially commits World Trade Organization (WTO) members to making significant strides in their negotiations before 30 April 2006, there must be considerable doubt as to whether the Doha Round can be completed in the near to medium term. In this paper I identify several political factors on both sides of the Atlantic that call into question whether the Doha Round of trade negotiations can be successfully completed in 2006. Furthermore, given the presidential elections in France and the United States in 2007 and 2008, respectively, I argue that the next plausible window of opportunity for completing the Doha Round will open in 2009.
