There is little doubt that the European Union is a large and complex entity. It can be difficult to grasp the exact nature of how the EU goes about its business. Luckily, there are a number of web resources that we can use to help with the understanding of some of these issues. Here are a few of our favoured sites where we like to refer to for our information.
The BBC devote an entire section to understanding the European Union. There are webpages devoted to - What is the remit of an MEP?, - The various institutions and agencies of the European Union, A timeline of the European Union, A historical map of the various incarnations of the European Union, and also this very handy Jargonbuster featuring definitions of a wide range of related topics.
