Reviews

'[A] comprehensive and valuable examination of the responsibilities, work and organization of the European Commission. It will be hard for those to wish to understand the European institutions to do without it...[It] provides a large amount of information and, most importantly, its judgements are balanced. In this book I immediately recognize the Commission in which I served at the highest level for ten years.' - Lord Williamson, Former Secretary General of the Commission, Journal of Common Market Studies
