Hi,
I'm a French student in law and I'm quite interested by English legal system. Nevertheless I am very surprised by the fact that even if England and France are in the European Community, there're still lots of difference between our systems. I don't complain here about the interest of the European Community, butI'm wondering if one day our countries will have one legislation...I'm afraid not

00 Although Europe is moving in the direction of harmonisation of laws in areas which fall within the competences of the EU, yet unification in other areas still remains within the competence of the single memberstates.
