Introduction
Key publications of the European Union is a catalogue presenting a selection of priced 
and free-of-charge publications published by the Publications Office, the European 
Union’s publisher. It is a booklet promoting the most recent and most popular titles of 
the EU institutions and other bodies, including:

 ■ the Official Journal of the European Union, the flagship publication, indicating 

the content and the various subscription options;
 ■ many titles covering European Union legislation;
 ■ books and booklets about the environment, economy and finance, education 

and culture; and

 ■ publications offering statistics on a wide range of subjects.

Entries for each publication indicate the title, the subtitle, a short description of the 
content, language availability, bibliographical information (year of publication, number 
of pages, format, ISBN and catalogue number) and price.

The structure of this catalogue is organised by theme — see the list on page VI. For 
easier searching, you will find two indexes: thematic and alphabetical.

The European Commission, 1958–72 
History and memories

The ink on the Rome Treaties of 25 March 1957 was 
hardly dry when the Commission set itself up for 
business on 1 January 1958 in Brussels with an agenda 
covering all areas of the economic life of the six founder 
countries: France, Germany, Italy and the three 
Benelux countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and 
Luxembourg.

The 15-year period — 1958 to 1972 — covered by this 
work corresponds to the beginnings of the European 
Commission, whose first task was to come up with 
practical means of achieving the Treaties’ main 
objective — the establishment of a common market — 
taking as its point of departure the general interest of 
the entire Community of six Member States. Forged by 
men and women with often very different backgrounds, 
the history of the first few years is one of crises but also 
of achievements which shaped the major milestones of 
European integration in almost every area.

Imagination, long-term vision, enthusiasm and tenacity 
seem to have been the great virtues of the people 
working for the young European institution at that time.

By piecing together over a number of years the 
recollections of former Commission officials, a 
consortium of university teachers under the direction of 
Professor Michel Dumoulin of the Catholic University 
of Louvain at Louvain-la-Neuve has, at last, made it 
possible to tell the story of what happened during those 
early days.

Investing in our common future 
The budget of the European Union
Using only 1 % of its overall wealth each year, the EU 
is building our common future and assuming global 
responsibilities. Spending decisions are based on 
whether each euro is best spent by the EU or national 
governments. The focus is on meeting the challenges 
of the modern world to our society in the interests of a 
better life for the citizens of the EU.

The money is primarily spent, therefore, on reducing 
income and social disparities across the EU, promoting 
the mobility which open internal borders make possible, 
on freedom, security and justice within the EU’s external 
borders, and on reinforcing the EU’s cultural diversity. 
Significant sums are also spent outside its borders 
because the EU’s economic and political weight in the 
world confers global responsibilities.

50 ways forward — Europe’s best successes
This booklet, published on the occasion of the 50th 
anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, aims to show in 
an attractive and entertaining way how people in and 
outside Europe have benefited, and will continue to 
benefit, from European cooperation.

The booklet reports 50 stories about what the EU has 
achieved so far: for example, how millions of young 
people can now study abroad, how ‘.eu’ is building a 
new European identity on the Internet, what Europe 
has done to help bring down the cost of air travel but 
also how we are producing cleaner cars and even how 
European police catch more criminals by cooperating 
better. Moreover, every story has a web link to find out 
more about the subject, and some even have a link to a 
short video on the Internet.

How the European Union works 
Your guide to the EU institutions
The European Union  is unique. It is not a federal State 
like the United States of America because its member 
countries remain independent sovereign nations. Nor 
is it a purely intergovernmental organisation like the 
United Nations because the member countries do pool 
some of their sovereignty — and thus gain much greater 
collective strength and influence than they could have 
acting individually.

They pool their sovereignty by taking joint decisions 
through shared institutions such as the European 
Parliament, which is elected by the EU citizens, and the 
Council, which represents national government. They 
decide on the basis of proposals from the European 
Commission, which represents the interests of the EU 
as a whole. But what does each of these institutions 
do? How do they work together? Who is responsible 
for what? This booklet sets out the answers in clear 
and simple language. It also gives a brief overview of 
the agencies and other bodies that are involved in the 
European Union’s work. The aim is to provide you with 
a helpful guide to EU decision-making.

Welcome to the European Parliament

This free-of-charge package contains a CD-ROM and two booklets:

The European Parliament— a small booklet listing the Parliament’s committees and 
other bodies

The faces of the European Parliament 2007–09 — a 50-page booklet about the 
Parliament’s work

What is the European Parliament? Why and how did it 
come into being? What does it do? What powers does it 
have and what is its political weight? Where does it stand 
in relation to the other institutions of the European 
Union? What goals does it have for Europe and the world 
and how do these ambitions affect the daily lives of the 
peoples of Europe? What new challenges is it now facing? 
Lastly, what is the Parliament doing for you and why 
should you not miss the chance to vote for your MEP?

These are, of course, just some of the questions which 
might be asked, but  this brochure provides clear and 
concise answers to them; answers which will show that 
ultimately the European Parliament is right next door to 
you, the citizens of Europe, and represents you every day.

Rural development in the European Union 
Statistical and Economic Information Report 
CD-ROM included

With the evolution of the common agricultural 
policy, rural development gained in importance and 
information needs have also evolved. For this reason, 
the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural 
Development now prepares an annual, specific report 
aiming to provide, on a regular basis, comprehensive 
information on rural areas and the implementation of 
the EU’s rural development policy.

The aims of the policy have been simplified and clarified 
around three clearly defined economic, environmental 
and territorial objectives:

 ■ improving the competitiveness of agriculture 

and forestry;

 ■ improving the environment and the 

countryside;

 ■ improving the quality of life in rural areas 

and encouraging diversification of economic 
activity.

From farm to fork statistics 

This pocketbook provides the reader with statistical 
information on how the food chain evolves in 
Europe; it gives different indicators for each step of 
the production–consumption chain, including food 
and feed. It provides a summary of the data currently 
available in the ‘Food: from farm to fork’ database.  
The outline shadows the approach taken by the 
European Commission on food safety policy, and 
thus all the indicators presented have been developed 
with this in mind. This publication may be viewed as a 
compendium of the data available on food and the food 
chain within Eurostat.

European Union Public Finance
This is the fourth edition of European Union Public 
Finance. Like its predecessors, it comes out at a key 
moment for European integration.

The purpose of this publication is to provide an insight 
into Community public finances that, if not exhaustive, 
is at least wide-ranging and accurate and to gain a better 
understanding of the financial aspects of the process of 
building Europe.

The finances of the European Union are in constant 
development. The system they represent is both a legacy 
of the past, which explains some of its complexity, 
and an ongoing effort to improve and adapt. Further 
changes will be needed in the years ahead.

European Economic Statistics 

This flagship publication on European economic 
statistics gives a wide-ranging overview of economic 
developments over recent years in the European Union, 
its Member States and selected partner countries.  
The publication covers key economic indicators 
available at Eurostat, including national accounts, 
government finances, balance of payments, foreign 
trade, prices, monetary and financial accounts, and the 
labour market.

Economic Forecast — Spring 2008
European Economy — Report No 1/2008

In its spring 2008 economic forecast, the European 
Commission discusses the economic situation and 
outlook for the euro area and the 27 Member States of the 
European Union, as well as the candidate countries and 
the EU’s main economic partners.

The euro area and EU economies are expected to slow 
down this year. The weaker economic outlook is due 
to continued distress in financial markets, the marked 
slowdown in the United States, soaring commodity prices 
and a resulting cooling of global trade. The economies 
of the euro area and the EU have proved to be relatively 
resilient so far on the back of sound fundamentals. 
However, Europe cannot escape the global headwinds 
unaffected and, overall, compared with the autumn 
2007 forecast, the Commission has in this spring 2008 
review revised GDP growth down by about one half of a 
percentage point for both this year and next.

EMU@10 
Successes and challenges after ten years of 
Economic and Monetary Union
European Economy — Report No 2/2008

At the beginning of May 1998, European Union leaders 
took the historic decision to launch the third stage of 
economic and monetary union — the euro — on  
1 January 1999. Ten years later 320 million European 
citizens share the single currency and enjoy its benefits. 
This key report provides an assessment of the first 
decade of economic and monetary union and identifies 
the goals and challenges facing the euro area.

Convergence Report 2008
European Economy — Report No 3/2008

Convergence reports examine whether Member States 
satisfy the conditions for adopting the single currency. 
They are issued by the European Commission and the 
European Central Bank every two years, or more often 
if a country intending to join the euro requests it. These 
reports form the basis for the decision on whether a 
Member State may join the euro area.

This report, adopted on 7 May 2008, is a regular biennial 
report and examines progress towards convergence in 
10 Member States with a derogation: Bulgaria, the Czech 
Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, 
Romania, Slovakia and Sweden. It contains the report 
from the Commission — COM(2008) 248 final — and 
the accompanying staff working paper, which provides a 
more detailed analysis of how well the criteria have been 
met by all countries assessed. The report concludes that 
Slovakia now meets the conditions to join the euro area.

Economic Forecast — Autumn 2008
European Economy — Report No 6/2008

Autumn economic forecast 2008–10: GDP growth 
comes close to a standstill in the EU and euro area

The Commission’s autumn forecasts show that the EU 
economies are strongly affected by the financial crisis, 
which is aggravating housing-market correction in 
several economies at a time when external demand 
is fading rapidly. While the important measures 
taken to stabilise financial markets have begun to 
restore confidence, the situation remains precarious 
and the risks to the forecasts significant. As a result, 
employment is set to increase only marginally in 2009–
10, after the six million new jobs created in 2007–08, 
and unemployment is expected to rise by about  
1 percentage point over the forecast period after being at 
its lowest for more than a decade.

European forests — ecosystem 
conditions and sustainable use 
EEA Report No 3/2008 

Despite political commitment, Europe is struggling 
to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2010. Forests, as the 
hosts of much of the biological diversity in Europe, 
are vital to this debate. Any initiative designed to 
halt the biodiversity loss in Europe must take forests 
into account.

Impacts of Europe’s changing climate —  
2008 indicator-based assessment  

EEA Report No 4/2008

This indicator report shows how temperature is 
increasing, sea levels are rising, glaciers, ice sheets and 
sea ice are melting, precipitation is changing, and the 
intensity and frequency of weather extremes in many 
regions is increasing. It also underlines the cascade 
of consequences including an increased risk of floods 
and droughts, losses of biodiversity, threats to human 
health, and damage to economic sectors such as energy, 
transport, forestry, agriculture and tourism.

The report highlights that more action is needed 
towards halting biodiversity loss and maintaining the 
resilience of ecosystems because of their essential role in 
regulating the global climate system.

Water resources across Europe — confronting 
water scarcity and drought 
EEA Report No 2/2009

Despite the vast amount of water on the planet, 
decades of unsustainable management mean that water 
shortages have reached crisis point in many regions.

Until now, most Europeans have been insulated from 
the social, economic and environmental impacts of 
severe water shortages. But as demand increases and 
the global climate changes, is Europe becoming more 
susceptible?

Transport at a crossroads — TERM 2008: 
indicators tracking transport and environment in 
the European Union 

EEA Report No 3/2009

The current economic turmoil may lessen the demand 
for transport but the transport sector still contributes 
significantly to rising emissions of greenhouse gases, 
noise exposure, air pollution, fragmentation of habitats 
and impacts on wildlife.

The Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism 
(TERM) report for 2008 highlights this trend. Although 
there is growing awareness of the transport sector’s 
disproportionate impact on the environment, the 
report shows that there is little evidence of improved 
performance or a shift to sustainable transport across 
Europe.

this is not as easy as it sounds — what can 
Tom and Lila do to be sure the present 
is safe?

The Blue Island
From the top of her favourite rock, Lila the fox gazed 
at the ocean. A warm breeze ruffled her fur. ‘How 
beautiful the sea is!’ Every day here on Blue Island was 
absolute bliss! But suddenly, from the harbour, came the 
sound of shouting. Lila pricked up her ears and twitched 
her whiskers.

Some coral thieves have been spotted near Turtle 
Island. Those people have no respect for Nature! They’re 
robbing the ocean! I hope the coastguards will catch 
them …

Combating climate change — the EU leads the way

Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing the 
planet. If the Earth’s temperature rises by more than 
2 ⁰C, the long-term consequences could be immense. 
The objective is to stabilise the emissions by 2020 and 
then cut to around half of their 1990 levels by 2050. 
In this free booklet you will find clear explanations 
of the European Union’s energy policy and of the role 
of technologies in fighting climate change. You will 
also find a short guide on how to reduce our carbon 
footprint by changing some of our habits, at home, in 
the car and in our everyday life.

2007, involving more than 900 diplomats, officers, 
practitioners, scholars and advocates, representing all 
facets of the network of European crisis responders.

The book — one of the few comprehensive examinations 
of crisis response and preparedness in action — is 
divided into four main parts: partnership-building, 
mediation and peacekeeping, natural resource wars, and 
trans-regional threats, early warning and intelligence.

It is a follow-up to Faster and more united?, an overview 
of the discussion on the EU’s crisis response capacity

The European Union and the Commonwealth  
of Independent States
Statistical comparison 

This publication is the result of a working project 
between the Interstate Statistical Committee of the 
Commonwealth of Independent States (CISSTAT) and 
the Statistical Office of the European Communities 
(Eurostat); Unit E5 — International statistical 
cooperation. The aim is to offer a comprehensive 
comparison of statistics in the last 10-year period. 
The 12 chapters cover a wide range of subjects such as 
population, employment, economy, agriculture and 
forestry, energy, industry and international trade in

European Training Thesaurus 
Thésaurus européen de la formation professionnelle 
The European training thesaurus contains more than 
2 500 terms (descriptors and non-descriptors) related 
to vocational education and training (VET). It is an 
essential working tool of Cedefop’s information and 
documentation service, currently used to index and 
retrieve information from Cedefop’s databases: the 
bibliographical database VET-Bib, ETV news database, 
European research overview database and European 
training village website.

The thesaurus has a double function: it is a link both 
between Cedefop’s users and its documentary resources, 
and a link between these different resources. It covers 
education and training vocabulary and focuses on VET 
systems and programmes, policy, economic and social 
aspects and training-related EU actions.

Languages take you further
Understanding and speaking foreign languages makes 
our life easier when we travel abroad and meet people 
from different countries. But languages also open doors 
to new friendships, new cultures and new opportunities. 
The European Union is composed of 27 countries 
with 23 official languages. Here’s a practical taste of 
each one of them that just might help you peek behind 
some of those doors. Simply unfold the outer flap of the 
brochure showing several phrases in your language and 
compare them with the translations inside.

Speaking for Europe
Languages in the European Union

The EU promotes the linguistic and cultural diversity 
of its peoples. It does so by supporting the teaching and 
learning of their languages. The EU’s ambitious goal 
is to enable citizens to be fluent in two languages in 
addition to their mother tongue. The EU institutions 
work with 23 official languages. This is to ensure that 
all EU citizens, whether they speak a major European 
language or a lesser-known one, have equal access to 
the policies and legislation of the European Union. This 
booklet looks in turn at the wide array of languages 
spoken in the EU, the many ways in which Europeans 
can benefit from learning languages and the EU’s 
support programmes. Finally it examines what it takes 
to run a multilingual Union.

Emerging Trends in Socio-economic Sciences and 
Humanities in Europe

The METRIS report

METRIS stands for ‘Monitoring European Trends in 
Social Sciences and Humanities’. The aim of METRIS 
is to support the European research area (ERA) in 
the social sciences and the humanities (SSH). This is 
particularly important for these sciences, because their 
knowledge is embedded into national systems, and the 
ERA brings about novel insights and perspectives that 
result from comparing national systems and situations 
as well as rising above such comparisons. European 
level research in SSH forms an important support for 
European policymaking.

This first report from a METRIS expert group identifies 
important new and emerging trends in social sciences 
and humanities.

EMCDDA insights — Prevention of substance abuse
The aim of this report is to assess the effectiveness of measures for the prevention of 
substance abuse drawing on high-quality surveys including reviews and meta-analyses.

Effectiveness, in this context, means impact in 
preventing, delaying or reducing children’s and young 
people’s consumption of tobacco and alcohol as well 
as cannabis and other illicit psychoactive substances. 
The study covers preventive measures that are 
both behavioural and environmental (i.e. based on 
consumption environment and context).

It presents conclusions about the effectiveness of 
measures in a range of settings as well as substance-
specific conclusions. The conclusions reported are 
rated according to the strength of the evidence on 
which they are based. Observations on gender-specific 
effectiveness, on negative consequences of addiction-
prevention measures and on efficiency are also included. 
In addition, the theoretical background to effective 
measures is described and assessed.

The life of women and men  
in Europe
A statistical portrait

This report is a statistical portrait of the similarities 
and differences between women and men in Europe 
at various stages of their lives, in their formative years 
when they are growing up and going to school, in the 
years when they are working and bringing up families 
and in their later years when they have retired. These 
three stages form the three main parts of the report, 
which are divided by theme rather than strictly by age.

Protecting workers in hotels, restaurants  
and catering

The hotel, restaurant and catering (HORECA) sector 
covers a wide range of different businesses, including 
hotels, pubs and restaurants, contract caterers in 
various industrial and commercial premises, fast-food 
takeaways, cafés and bistros. It plays an important role 
as a job creator in the service sector and in the economy 
as a whole in many EU Member States.

Employing, as it does, more than 7.8 million people, it is 
important to manage the risks and prevent the causes of 
accidents and ill health in the HORECA sector.

The aim of this report is to make available information 
relating to occupational health and safety in HORECA 
and to provide an overview of good practices at both the 
policy and workplace level.

EMCDDA insights —  
Assessing illicit drugs in wastewater
Potential and limitations of a new monitoring approach

In this report the potential use and the likely limitations 
of a new and novel approach to monitoring the use 
of illicit drugs are explored. This approach has been 
made possible by recent improvements that have 
increased the sensitivity of analytical laboratory 
equipment. Developments in chromatographic and 
mass spectrometric analysis have made it possible to 
identify urinary excretion of illicit drugs and their main 
metabolites in wastewater at very low concentrations.

The initial focus of work in this area was on the 
monitoring of environmental contamination caused 
by the excretion of prescription medicines. However, it 
was quickly realised that these approaches might lead 
to the possibility of assessing levels of illicit drug use by 
detecting their residues in the environment.

EMCDDA monographs — Addiction 
neurobiology: ethical and social implications

This report reviews the developments in the 
neuroscience of addiction, explores how they might 
affect the way we view and treat drug problems, and 
considers the ethical issues that they raise for drug 
policy in Europe.

The focus in this report is on illicit drugs, but natural 
laws are not bound by the same conventions as human 
ones. The understanding that neuroscience brings is 
relevant to all drugs that have an abuse potential.

Workplace exposure to vibration in Europe:  
an expert review

The vibration directive (2002/44/EC) introduces 
minimum protection requirements for workers when 
they are exposed to risks arising from vibration. 
National measures transposing the directive have 
been taken by all 27 Member States since it came into 
force across Europe on 6 July 2005. The objective of 
this report is to provide an overview of the challenges 
facing the occupational safety and health (OSH) 
community in this field in the context of the application 
of the vibration directive. The situation in six Member 
States — Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Poland and 
Finland — is examined, and research information is 
presented covering all Member States.

EMCDDA insights — Drug use, impaired driving 
and traffic accidents

The main objectives of the present report are to review 
the current knowledge on driver impairment due 
to drug use from experimental and epidemiological 
studies published since 1999, to underline the strengths 
and limitations of the different types of studies and to 
report on current levels of prevalence found in various 
subsets of drivers on EU roads.

Although the focus of the present report is drugs and 
driving, it should be kept in mind that the data from 
European studies clearly demonstrate that the main 
psychoactive substance endangering lives on the roads 
today is alcohol (EMCDDA, 2007).

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders: 
Prevention report

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are 
impairments of body structures such as muscles, joints, 
tendons, ligaments, nerves, bones or a localised blood 
circulation system caused or aggravated primarily by the 
performance of work and by the effects of the immediate 
environment where the work is carried out. Most work-
related MSDs are cumulative disorders, resulting from 
repeated exposures to high- or low-intensity loads over 
a long period of time. The symptoms may vary from 
discomfort and pain to decreased body function and 
invalidity. Although it is not clear to what extent MSDs 
are caused by work, their impact on working life is huge. 
MSDs can interfere with activities at work and can lead 
to reduced productivity, sickness absence and chronic 
occupational disability.

The aim of this report is to evaluate the effectiveness  
of interventions at the workplace and to provide practical 
examples with respect to successful prevention of MSDs.

Healthier together in the European Union

The European Union  works to protect and improve 
the health of European citizens. The aim is to make 
sure that all Europeans — regardless of who they are or 
where they live — can enjoy a healthy life until old age. 
They should be protected from threats to their health, be 
aware of healthy lifestyle options and, when they fall ill, 
know and enjoy their rights to treatment at home and 
abroad.

Provisions on international relations  
in EU competition policy
Situation as of 1 January 2008

Globalisation presents major challenges for competition 
authorities around the world, requiring close 
cooperation between them in order to best tackle 
cross-border competition issues. The Commission 
has therefore concluded numerous international 
agreements in recent years, both bilaterally and in the 
framework of international forums. This book provides 
a comprehensive overview of competition agreements 
and rules in the international field and serves as a useful 
reference for market operators and law enforcers.

law and exists in all the official languages of the European Union. It gives users access 
to EU documents in PDF, HTML, TIFF or DOC format.

The content of the site dates back to 1951 and amounts to some 2 300 000 documents. 
The database is updated daily and every year some 15 000 documents are added.

You can:

 ■ consult the Official Journal of the European Union online;

 ■ access EU legislation and other documents by: 

— searching for documents, 
— browsing through collections and directories. 

Consult the Official Journal of the European Union

The L (Legislation) and C (Information and Notices) series of the Official Journal of the 
European Union are loaded on to the EUR-Lex site early each working day. This allows 
the EUR-Lex user to follow the latest developments in EU law. The Official Journal 
has been available online in PDF format since 1 January 1998. Texts published in the 
Official Journal before 1998 can be consulted in HTML format or downloaded in 
TIFF format from an optical archive.

New features

New features have recently been added to EUR-Lex. Browsing through COM 
documents was added to the ‘Preparatory acts’ collection. The options of searching 
for SEC documents and national execution measures were made available in ‘Search 
by natural number’. To facilitate access to selected documents, permanent links have 
been added to each bibliographic notice.
