Media sites

To keep up to date with EU developments, the following sites are recommended:

• The Economist - some useful background here and also their country profiles may be a help.
• The Guardian archive - possibly the best archive on the web. Well worth a search of this to find out about European issues.
• The BBC news site - again, an excellent archive to search.

Other sites

The European Union's has its own site - Europa. This is a massive site, but the basic information link is a good starting point
