Privatization and Regulation of Public Utilities in Latvia

Abstract

In order to address the question "How far is Eastern Europe from Brussels?" this paper examines specific policy areas of concern to the EU (e.g. those related to the implementation of the single market). Furthermore, it is argued that a country-by-country and issue-by-issue approach is required to assess the readiness of the Associated States for EU entry, in terms of reforms undertaken so far and likely progress in satisfying the conditions expected to be required for EU membership during the next few years.
