The European Community

"The European Community" is for everyone connected professionally with Europe. It is the first book to explain European Community law and bureaucracy in practical, everyday terms. It provides see-at-a-glance overviews, in diagrammatic form, of all broad areas of European constitution and policy, as well as specific, detailed briefings on all aspects of practical life influenced by the Europoean Community. This book offers both perspective and focus: every subject of interest is covered individually and named contacts are given for further, up-to-date advice. Precise references are included to European interests in specific products and services, occupations, research, business practices, countries etc. "The European Community" also fully explains how the Community itself works, with special diagrams and practical information on Community institutions, policy-making bodies, and private-sector agencies with whom the Community regularly consults.
Particular attention has been given to the design of the book: the fullest use is made of diagrams and tables to supplement narrative briefings, with special attention to layout and cross-referencing to ensure that all possible paths within European constitution and policy can be easily traced.
