THE JUNE 1979 EUROPEAN ELECTIONS MARK A VERY IMPORTant date, not only for the members of the European Community, but also for all the European countries, since for the first time, almost simultaneously, the representatives to the parliamentary Assembly of the Community were chosen democratically in the nine countries.
1 The laws adopted by each country have been published by the European Parliament and the Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques devoted a day of study, 18 May 1979 to the examination of ‘the rules for the election of the Assembly of the European Community’.
