About This Guide

This Research Guide focuses on the European Union (also referred to as the European Economic Community). The European Union is a group of European nations which have developed a Common Market system aimed at breaking down trade and political barriers between member countries. There is an enormous amount of information available on this topic. Thus, you might find it useful to narrow your focus by dealing with the European Union in relation to a specific country or type of product.
