Who (or what) is the European Union? If you always wanted to ask, ... | European Union -- by topic The policies and priorities of the European Union --- in many languages. | EU Institutions and bodies The EU policy 'actors' and key stakeholders. | EU's publications ... and they're plenty!!! Don't despair, though: Start at the "EU Bookshop" and work your way through the rest. | EUROSTAT - The EU's statistical office. "[Eurostat's ] mission is to provide high quality statistics for Europe." |
