| | Journal of Advertising: HARMONIOUS REGIONAL ADVERTISING REGULATION? |
 | | The European Union (EU) has passed legislation to harmonize advertising regulation among its member states (Cunningham 2000; Greer and Thompson 1985; Petty and Spink 1995). |  | | Arguably, the European experience of standardizing advertising regulation is unique in that the EU is a supernational sovereign entity delegated by its member states and endowed with legislative power (European Commission 2004). |  | | Given the importance of government advertising regulation, there has been limited research exploring the common ground between government regulations in different countries. |
