Working with the European Union: A Practical Guide to the EU

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) booklet Working with the European Union: A Practical Guide to the EU provides information on the EU so that business, and also employees and consumers, can engage in, or further, their EU operations. It outlines how the EU works; its structure, institutions and processes. It also provides an overview of support and opportunities offered, including how to get involved in the law-making process, accessing EU funding and pan European business-to-business (B2B) networks, and getting in touch with EU stakeholders.
