Europe in 12 Lessons
What purpose does the EU serve? Why and how was it set up? How does it work? What has it already achieved for its citizens, and what new challenges does it face today? In a globalised world, can the EU compete successfully with other major economies while maintaining its social standards? How can immigration be managed? What will Europe’s role be on the world stage in the years ahead? Where will the EU’s boundaries be drawn? And what future is there for the euro? These are just some of the questions explored by EU expert Pascal Fontaine in this 2017 edition of his popular booklet Europe in 12 lessons. Pascal Fontaine is a former assistant to Jean Monnet and former professor at the Institut d’Études Politiques, Paris.
How the European Union Works
The European Union (EU) is not a federal State like the United States of America because its member countries remain independent sovereign nations, nor is it a purely intergovernmental organization like the United Nations because the member countries do pool some of their sovereignty. They pool their sovereignty by taking joint decisions through shared institutions such as the European Parliament, which is elected by the EU citizens, and the Council, which represents national government. They decide on the basis of proposals from the European Commission, which represents the interests of the EU as a whole. This publication examines question such as: What does each of these institutions do? How do they work together? Who is responsible for what? It also gives a brief overview of the agencies and other bodies that are involved in the European Union's work.--Publisher's description.
Serving the People of Europe
At the heart of the European Union is the European Commission: a body with a unique combination of legislative and executive powers. It is responsible for a wide range of policy areas ranging from culture to agriculture. Employing 24 000 people from the length and breadth of the EU, the Commission works closely with the European Parliament, the Council of Ministers, civil society and national governments. It strives to bring Europe together through mutual understanding and a desire for peace, freedom and prosperity. What is it like and who works there? This booklet gives you the chance to find out.

A Guide to EU Funding
In response to the evolution of the world economy and its impact on Europe, the European Commission proposed a set of programmes to boost jobs, growth and investment across the European Union.

This publication guides you through these programmes and the funding opportunities they offer are briefly described here in this booklet. Detailed information is available on the European Commission's website. EU funding opportunities prove the added value of the EU budget in a number of fields, from research, employment, regional development and cooperation to education, culture, environment, humanitarian aid and energy, among many others.
