Why a manual for Europe?
GEF’s mission is to foster greater involvement by citizens in the European Union’s political system, and to create an active political space to discuss major issues confronting the Union. A barrier to this is the perception of the EU as a complex institution, which is hard for citizens for interact with.
This book aims to explain to readers in an easy to read format how the EU operates: what the different institutions do, how decisions are made, how EU law is enforced and how the EU is funded. It also includes useful information for Green activists such as a section on the European Green movement and a section on different NGO and lobby organisations that interact with the EU.
It is hoped that this publication will inspire Green activists to engage with the European Union and work with colleagues across borders to create a fairer, more sustainable Europe.
