Corporate dilemma
The Enron scandal had far-reaching implications
Could an Enron-style corporate collapse happen in Europe, and if it affected more than one country, could the European Union cope?

The US and the EU are both tightening up their corporate governance rules, but there are fears that the two could be on a collision course.

Frits Bolkestein, the European Commissioner for Internal Markets, thinks the answer is to integrate fully Europe's financial markets.

But will this further inflame the far right in Europe, and how will he get member states to agree? He talks to Tim Sebastian.

This interview can be watched in full on Tuesday 12 November on BBC World and BBC News 24 at the following times:

BBC News 24 (times shown in BST) 0430, repeated 2230

BBC World (times shown in GMT) 0330, repeated 1130, 1530, 1830, 2330
