Europe in Figures

Description of publication

This excellent book, the goal of which is to educate people about Europe, lends itself to a comfortable interaction between reader and material. It is well documented with statistics; interpreted data; colorful presentations of charts, graphs, photos, vignettes, and maps; glossary; and further reading. Its quality by far exceeds its price.
Progress in European integration and initiatives taken at the Maastricht Summit has called for a greater understanding of the Community's history and background. In keeping with this need for greater understanding and the availability of more objective information on its economic and social conditions, Eurostat (Statistical Office of the European Communities) created this publication. One of Eurostat's tasks was to provide Europeans and other interested persons with information on developments in European Community policies based on uniform definitions and data-collection methods to enable them to make informed choices and decisions. Eurostat's harmonized EU statistics fulfill that objective.

The book is color coded to refer to Eurostat's various statistical themes:

General statistics.	Economy and finance.
Population and social conditions.	Energy and industry.
Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries.	External trade/balance of payments.
Services and transport.	Environment.
Miscellaneous.
