DOC TYPE: Article GRADE LEVEL: Higher Education So far steel is the only industrial sector in which the European Commission and the Community in general have developed a coherent policy. An evaluation is made of the Community' s role in the management of the crisis and the restructuring of European steel. The objective of EC policy has been to arrest the decline in prices and the consequent financial losses incurred by steel producers, while at the same time preserving a certain degree of freedom in intra-EC trade. It is argued that despite its many limitations the EC policy on steel was better than no policy at all. However, the lack of transnational integration on the production level is likely to act as a major obstacle to further EC cooperation in ind ustrial policy.

It is investigated whether changes tool place in Belgium' s structure of industrial specialization, and which sectors of national industry does foreign competition, and especially competition from developing countries, threaten most. The conceptual framework of analysis is the neo-factor proportion theory; it involves regressing an index of revealed comparative advantage on the intensities of use of different factors of production.

In cases where discrimination against women appears to exist, an estimate is made of its degree. It is found that in all countries considered, with the exception of the Netherlands, women have lower average earnings even after standardizing for their different work characteristics. A substantial part of the female-male earnings differential can not be explained by the differences in the work characteristics of women and can be attributed to other factors, such as sexual prejudice.
