ABSTRACT
The European Community's completion of the single internal market by the end of 1992 (EC-1992) is officially welcomed in the United States for the "free flow of capital, goods, products, services, and people" it will bring. Secretary of Commerce Mosbacher has stated that EC-1992 is in the United States' best interests, both commercially and strategically, and that the United States stands to gain from this market integration (Mosbacher 1990). While U.S. policy statements emphasize the opportunities that will follow from EC-1992, an undertone of caution is present Calls for close monitoring of specific sectors, warnings against protectionism, and above all, concern that non-EC producers and service providers may be unequally or unfavorably treated under the new EC legislation are evident in Commerce Department statements.
