Do you know what the NEP is? What are the ultimate goals of the Common Agricultural Policy? Are you sure you understand the functioning of the Community's institutions? What are the notable dates of the EEC? Who was Walter Hallstein? If you are not very confident in yourself and believe you might be exposed during a discussion about the European Community, then this manual is for you. Sometimes with mild and sometimes with strongly subversive humor, it attempts to equip the reader with the basic knowledge. With a sparkling spirit, which is preserved in the Greek edition thanks to the successful translation, journalists Michael Toner and Christopher White give the reader the opportunity to form an image of the functions and processes of the European Community, while also showing the other, lesser-known side that lies beneath the official titles and impressive names.
