How to get money
FOR a touching evocation of the European spirit, I commend Grants from Europe: How to get money and influence policy. Published at 0.95 (but you might get a grant) by the Bedford Square Press, it is described as an invaluable guide on how to get money from the European Commun- ity. Many hands reach into that great cookie jar, but the guide has advice for them all, from ethnic minorities to farmers who want extra subsidies for being en- vironmentally aware. Names, addresses, telephone numbers in London and Brus- sels, how to apply for money, what hap- pens next — the authors have it all. One, Bill Scary, is said to run the international affairs of the National Council for Volun- tary Organisations, but the other, Ann Davison, must be the new Europe's answer to Dr Heinz Kiosk, pluralist psychiatric adviser to the Leek and String Bean Authority (also cucumber sandwiches and profiteroles.) Showing how to get money and influence policy, she is Secretary of Consumer in the Community's agriculture working party, she represents consumers on the Community's lamb and fisheries advisory committee, and she advised the International Organisation of Consumers Unions on the Gatt negotiations. So far, on Gatt, the consumers have lost, but that's Europe for you.
