This new reader brings together in annotated form and explanatory introductions, 80 speeches, declarations, memorandums, programmes, plans, resolutions and (extracts from) treaties, covering the period from 1929 (Briand Memorandum) to 1995 (Mitterrand's speech to the European Parliament). Together, and in connection, they present a clear picture of the most important economic and political developments within the European Community and the present-day European Union. This edition is based on annotated original texts, preceded and clarified by explanatory introductions.
