In his speech Sir Paul made the point that we ought to be wary of looking at the Single Market as panacea for all our ills; rather we should seek to expand' European interests in markets outside the EEC. • We present ,salient extracts from Sir Paul's speech: free movement of goods, people, services and capital. That aim , as far as the removal of customs duties and quantltlve restrictions was concerned, has' been largely accomplished but other barriers remain, and it is these, ·which continue to hamper the development of a true internal market, which the programme contained in the 1985 White Paper sought to remove...•• a • ~ • •.•••Take, first, the free movement of people..•..Yet there is still, what the Commission called in its midterm' Report last December, the "routine, mindless interference with the great mass of ordinary innocent travellers going about their legitimate business".

"It. has been .said that all great social and political movements start . with Utopia and end with RealitYiEuropean Economic Integration is no exception.

The principle of mutual recognition seems an ideal way of dealing with a morass of detailed regulations, 'but it will, inevitably, raise difficult issues of 'reciprocity and mutual advantage with the Japanese and Americans. Will London have to refuse to admit a Japanese bank because Tokyo . will not admit a Danish one? How exactly is the balance of advantage to be' struck between the EEC and Japan and the USA in these matters and who is to police it? , • ! , I • • Sir Paul Girolami An important development was the decision to liberalize capital movements, and to plan to do this, as early as next year.

Clive • , Herbs Rosemary (Rosmarinus) Rosemary is for remembrance, so the Victorians said. But the Italians being a much more practical race prefer to stuff it into a chicken then roast it and enjoy both the smell and the taste. What better than a veal chop sizzling' in a pan with a few sprigs of rosemary to bring out that wonderful delicate flavour of the veal, and once again that beautifulperfume in the kitchen. , ' Sensations to remember! Well, perhaps the Victorians were right, after all! It was the Romans who first brought Rosemary to Britian. It has other historical associations with the Virgin Mary, the flowers are believed to have taken their colour from her cloak when she threw it over a rosemary bush to dry. In Elizabethan times sprigs were tied in small bunches with ribbon and given to guests at weddings to symbolize love and fidelity. Rosemary has many other uses, as an insect repellant for your linen and clothes" and to freshen the air in your house don't use chemical sprays, just burn a few leaves and the perfume will spread throughout the house as rosemary is a close relative to lavender. Best bought from a garden centre as a plant. Grow in a well drained sunny spot., AN INTRODUCTION BY MARIO UTILINI Take care, because it doesn't like the soil too rich, as it will grow too fast with very tender leaves, then the winter winds or very cold weather can kill it. It is quite happy growing in a large pot whiCh has the advantage that then you can take it indoors in winter. Next to Basilico I think rosemary is the most Italian of herbs. If you find a place for it in your household and you will be rewarded for years to come. Basilico (Ocimum Basilicum) Basil is my (and I am sure many people's) favourite herb. Strangely it came originally from India and spread from Asia Minor to Greece and then to Italy in Roman times, but, was not used in England until 1600. The scent of basil brings the warmth of sunny Italian days ,to your home and the taste of tomato dishes to your dinner table. But basil like those warm Italian holidays only lasts for a short time in the summer and dies in the winter as it is an annual. But when you can have it freshly picked what a beautiful herb it is. Basil is a very easy herb to use, a few leaves crushed with Garlic and olive oil make a very simple pesto, and put into a minestrone or pasta dish at, the 'last moment can transform an ordinary dish into an aroma'tic feast and for all for 2 minutes work and a few pence. Basil like most Italians gets stronger when heated so use it sparingly in cooked dishes, and use more leaves in salads and cold dishes. I • suggest you grow some In a pot if only to touch the leaves now and then and fill the air with that rich scent of those far off skies of Italy. Basil plants do not like to be disturbed so plant the seeds where you intend • them to grow. In a pot IS best. You will find full instructions on the seed packet which you can buy from ant garden centre. The plants like to grow on a bright, window sill or a sunny spot in the garden. Remember those blue skies and Italian sunshine. When you pick the leaves, pinch, the stem off as well just above a leaf joil)t so you will have t wo more shoots comin'g off the stem, then you'll get a. nice bushy plant. And last of all never let· basil .flower, not because the white flowers are not nice, but because once it flowers the seeds set and being an annual plant its life cycle is complete, and it will die. But if it does die, I, am sure you will grow it again next year, if only to remind you of sunny Italian skies. • Birds of a feather 'read BACKHILL together • -" -- - .. -" - -. . ,_.- - - .- - -~ - .. -- , • GG· =---- ,- ~- G.G.B.

(a promising young hurdler who had been my selection) fractured his pelvis in the second race of the day won by Beech Road. In the final race, Enemy Action who had led for most of the line, subsequently collapsed and died in. the racing stables. It was the death of Brown Trix and Seeandem, however, which have prompted calls for alterations to Becher's Brook. Last year I walked the course ,for the first ti me and it is difficult as one approaches the fence to appreciate that it. is in fact' the infamous Becher's. This is because one cannot see from in front of the fence that the ground on the landing side is so much lower than that on take off and additionally also slopes back into' the brook and this is what makes the jump so formidable. Indeed Brown Trix fell back into the brook and had to be pulled out by no less than 35 people, but suffered a fractured shoulder and had to be put down. Even the • '-a wmnmg trainer, • • Toby Balding, IS suggesting that the ground should be fhittened rather than sloping back and there are also calls for 'the brook to be filled in.
