Scope and content

The Single European Act (SEA) was the first major revision of the 1957 Treaty of Rome. The Act set the European Community an objective of establishing a single market by 31 December 1992 (see P143/2/11), and a forerunner of the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) it helped codify European Political Co-operation. A referendum was held on 26th May 1987 where voters were asked to support constitutional amendment to enable Government to ratify the SEA.

Material in this subseries, consisting of correspondence, reports, submissions, press releases, and background material, relates to the SEA, in particular as it related to Ireland, and arrangement was kept where possible. Mary Robinson was on Joint Committee for Secondary Legislation and material here therefore overlaps with P143/2/2/2.
