In view of the forthcoming European elections (22–25 May 2014), the CVCE has compiled a selection of resources (explanatory texts, photos and graphics) and oral accounts on the European Parliament from its establishment in 1952 to the present day. In this way, the CVCE hopes to help improve public awareness of the European Parliament and contribute to a greater understanding of the issues surrounding the European elections.
