A major quality check of the whole list was performed by Richard Corbett
at <rcorbett@gw.europarl.org> from the European Parliament who sent me
many minor corrections as well as some major rewrites. Richard is an
authority in the field as he is one of the authors of the most commonly
used reference-book on the European Parliament (see below). His work has
been endorsed by the President of the European Parliament as "the
most comprehensive survey available on the structure, working methods and
powers of the European Parliament, and by Neil Kinnock (European
Commissioner whose wife is a British MEP (PES) as "the most thumbed
book in the Kinnock household;.
And finally, Andrew Macmullen <a.l.macmullen@durham.ac.uk>, who helped me
a lot in sending many minor corrections and additional information. He
also gave some additional information:
Most of the infomation contained here could be found in greater
depth in basic text books on the EU. Three excellent up to date
w
orks (and all available in paperback editions) are:
NUGENT (N.) 1994. The Government and Politics of the European Union.
London, Macmillan.
DINAN (D.) 1994. An Ever Closer Union? London, Macmillan.
ARCHER (C.) 1994. Organizing Europe: the Institutions of Integration.
Edward Arnold.
The leading academic journal carrying excellent material on all
aspects of the EU is, in spite of its rather out-dated title:
Journal of
Common Studies (Blackwells, Oxford). This includes an invaluable
annual supplement The European Union Annual Review of
Activites.
Some of the (paper) sources I used to find the answers to the questions in
this list are:
WESTLAKE (M.) 1994. A modern guide to the European Parliament. London,
Pinter, 302pp.

Community. Luxembourg, Office for Official Publications of the European
