Significance They have backed it with EUR9bn (USD10.5bn) in EU grants to develop cross-border infrastructure. In parallel, academics and think tanks, most recently the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies, have been promoting the idea of regional economic integration. Impacts The Commission is promoting deeper regional economic integration as a preparation for the EU single market. The World Bank estimates that eliminating regional customs barriers would save 30 million man-hours a year and save exporters USD3.2bn. Tensions may rise among non-Serb majorities in Bosnia, Kosovo and Montenegro, which have large Serb minority populations.

Open Issues

In analyzing regional economic integration in Europe the authors pay special attention to the development in the European Union, for other forms of regional or sub regional integration at the continent are in fact mostly transitional and provisional, and directly connected with EU. The authors argue that in spite of considerable success and high level of integration of the EU, several important open issues remain in that process. They are results of mixed character of European integration: political and economic. Too many kinds of interests are of opposed character, and it is very hard to harmonize them in real politics. The main problems in the EU have their cause in the nature of European integration: international competitiveness of European economy, social character of European states, national productivity, challenges of enlargement.

This chapter addresses some of the complexities of having regional economic integration organizations (above all the European Union) participate in treaty-making under UN auspices. Discussing conceptual matters such as how participation can take place (as full member, as observer, or anything in-between), it delves into some of the relevant legal issues on both sides of the equation: on the part of the regional economic integration organization as well as on the part of the UN and specialized agencies, devoting some attention to the solutions agreed upon within the framework of the Food and Agricultural Organization when it admitted the EU as a member in its own right. These include the delegation and distribution of treaty-making powers, negotiating mandates, and the like, as well as some practical matters. The discussion is situated against a backdrop of functionalist theorizing about the law of international organizations.
