These three candid reminiscences by three MEPs blend prsonal
impressions with an analysis of the growing power and importance of
the European Parliamnet over the twenty years since it was first
directly elected. Based on insider experience from the mainstream
political tarditions - carole Tongue from the Socialists, Henry
Plumb from the Conservatives and Florus Wijsenbeek from the
Liberlas - this book informs as well as entertains, putting a human
face on the politics of power in Brussels and Strabourg. In the
hisotory of European integration few steps have been as important
as the change from appointed Assembly to elected Parliament in
1979. This slim volume brings together the reflections of three
MEPs who, through their parliamentary activity over the yeras, have
helped to shape Europe. The Treaty of Rome speaks of \"an ever
closer union of the peoples of Europe\". The European Parliament
has become its clearest political expression yet, and these three
MEPs reflections, written as much from their political as from
their personal standpoints, offer the reader telling insights into
this continuing process. This slim volume brings together the
