OU now has an online subscription to the Manual of European Environmental Policy (if  off campus log into OxLIP+ with your Oxford Single Sign On details, then find it among the databases). This means that the hardcopy version at Euro Comm 510 H149b is now of historic interest only – from now on please consult the online version!
