The European Union Law Guide delivers up-to-date commentary that describes the structure and function of the European Union. Clear guidance is provided for navigating through the complicated legislative procedures of this important regulatory body. Practical commentaries offer a road map to the many directives, regulations, and decisions promulgated by the European Union and implemented by its member states.

Detailed descriptions of the European Economic and Monetary Union explain the relationship of these entitles in interaction with the direction of the EU.
