Title: The role of the public sector in Spain: Structural characteristics and policy adjustment on the road to the 
	EEC Internal Market
Abstract: This paper discusses the main features of the Spanish fiscal and expenditure policies over the past 
	fifteen years and briefly addresses both the adjustment efforts over the 1975-1985 period and the 
	responses of public policy to the 'EEC cum 1992' shock. The impressionistic analysis which follows can be 
	succintly summarized by three basic questions. Which are the main structural characteristics of the 
	Spanish public sector on the eve of the EEC membership? How did public policy respond to the impact of the 
	EEC accession? What policies could be implemented as to reduce the costs associated to the fundamental 
	economic changes envisaged for 1992? The first question is addressed in Section I. Section II will address 
	the issue of public policy responses to the permanent shock of 1986 as well as to the challenges posed by 
	the 1992 European Internal Market.

Keywords: Sector público; España; Mercado Interior; Comunidad Económica Europea.
