    The Socialist Group, the European Parliament and the Development Policy of the European Community, 1968-75

    This article examines the role of the European Parliament (EP) in the debate on the European Community (EC) development policy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Setting these discussions in the context of the North-South dialogue, it shows that the EP made a twofold contribution. The EP tried to operate as a moral authority in the EC arena and to set the demands of developing countries on the EC agenda. Focusing more specifically on the Socialist Group (SG), this study probes the parliamentary work of the SG between impulses for reshaping the EC’s development policy and a consensus-oriented practice designed to strengthen the EP’s moral authority in this policy field.
