Euro information and opinion


EmuNet
One of the most comprehensive and up-to-date sites on the EU, Britain and the single currency. Although funded by the EU, it is far from an EU promotional vehicle. It covers theoretical debates, the practicalities of living with the euro and has excellent links to every EU country.

Eurosceptic sites


Bruges Group Eurocritic magazine
An eclectic mix of all shades of scepticism. Analysis of Britain and the EU by the European Research Group sits alongside the latest dose of scepticism from the Sun. It claims to be non-partisan but is closely linked to the rightwing Bruges Group - formed after Margaret Thatcher's famously eurosceptic speech in Bruges in 1988.
