The European Community Fact Book: A Complete Question and Answer Guide - Softcover

Based on the London Chamber of Commerce Commercial Education Scheme's internationally run courses on the European Community, this is a factual guide to all matters relevant to the EC and 1992. The book is divided into sections for easy access to information on: how the EC works - its aims, size and structure; the individual policies and developing areas of influence of the commission; business strategy and how businesses are affected by and fit into the overall economic and social plan of the European Community. It answers such questions as: what are the aims of the Single European Act; what is the Commission's policy on taxation; what are the functions of the ECU; why is the harmonization of standards necessary and what is the difference between the European Council and the Council of Europe?.
