* This study was prepared at the request of the Council of Europe as the official report for the 5th Colloquy on European Law at Lyons in 1975. I am indebted to my Research Assistant, Assessor Adalbert E. GrieB, for valuable help during the preparation of this report, which is here published for the first time, with the permission of the Secretariat of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. The whole report, enlarged and revised, and with all the appendices (which are omitted here) will also be published in the two official languages of the Council of Europe and in a German translation by the German publishers, W. Gieseking, as vol. 7 of the series, Industriegesellschaft und Recht, edited by M. Rehbinder and B. Rebe, Bielefeld 1976, cf. n. 79, Infra.
