Description
This has been the standard reference work on the European Parliament since its first edition in 1990, covering every aspect of how the Parliament is elected, is organised and does its work. The same three authors - one an MEP and the other two senior officials within the Parliament - have written every edition and they bring an unrivalled depth and breadth of knowledge about how the Parliament really works. The new 6th edition is fully updated to include changes including the impact of the May 2004 enlargement of the EU with 10 new member states, the June 2004 European elections, and the potential implications of the constitutional treaty signed in October 2004.
