"One minute EU guide launched

A one minute guide to the EU has been launched by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
The online guide is an animated tour of the EU and gives information about EU countries, how the EU works and its impact on our lives.
The guide also complements a new printed publication called 'Guide to the European Union', which is being sent to public libraries and other information points around the UK.
The initiative comes as a new survey revealed that 85% of UK citizens say that they know nothing or little about the EU, its policies and its institutions, while only 2% say that they know a great deal.
Nearly 70% of the British public would like more information on what the EU does for the individual and two-thirds think the government is responsible for providing this information."
