Most hopeful of all, public enthusiasm for the Common Market far outstrips that of officialdom. Since last January at least 15 specialized magazines and reviews devoted to the Common Market have sprung up; so has UNICE, a Common Marketwide counterpart of the U.S.'s National Association of Manufacturers.
