The EU and its institutions can now legislate in many of the policy areas that were once exclusively the preserve of national governments. Therefore every company, however small, must have a strategy and information source with which to deal with EU changes. This Report will help you to understand EU policies and their effect on business. It provides an overview of the objectives, institutions and powers of the EU, an understanding of the effects of EU policy on their product market, a better grasp of the EU decision making process, full details of where to find information, useful contacts and how to use the information.
