Book Note McCrudden, Christopher, Equality in Law between Men and Women in the European Community: United Kingdom, Dordrecht, Boston, London: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers/Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities (1994) xIii + 531 pages + Index. Dfl 156; $93.50; £62.50. This is a welcome contribution to the understudied field of the implementation of European Community Directives in various national contexts. It is part of a series that utilizes the findings of years of investigation by EC experts to unveil the fate of work-place gender equality, directives, specifically 75/117 on Equal Pay. 76/207 on Equal Treatment Directive and three on social security. The author meticulously explains how British law translated each segment of every directive, and lists the measures taken for enforcement. What is unfortunately missing is a critical evaluation of the British effort: such shortcoming is particularly serious when one remembers how the EC Commission took Great Britain to Court precisely over these matters in 1982.
