Summary: This is a revised and considerably expanded edition of Who does what in Europe?, last produced by the Arts Council in March 1990. As before, the intention is to clarify what the European Community, Council of Europe and UNESCO do in the cultural sector and, at the same time, indicate their potential -and that of other institutions operating in the European arena- as funding sources for culture. The first pan of the directory is devoted to the European Community, whose actions could have the most impact on the cultural sector in the UK, and which remains the avenue offering the most promise for financial help. There is less opportunity to obtain financial assistance from the Council of Europe and UNESCO, which are listed in parts 2 and 3 respectively. The importance of both organisations lies chiefly in their function as a forum for discussion and as repositories of information on cultural experiences in different countries. Part 4 provides information on other, perhaps less well known, supranational organisations and foundations that may provide finance or help. It is generally accepted that the money available for touring UK arts overseas, or supporting European arts visits to the UK is inadequate to meet the surge in demand. However, modest new support measures are being developed as the British arts funding agencies extend their interests and links, and those of their clients, with continental Europe, thus complementing the work of the British Council and Visiting Arts. Part 5 of the directory attempts to clarify the range of aid and expertise now available. In Part 6, attention is drawn to other possible sources of aid or advice, including embassies, foundations and town 'twinning' mechanisms. At the end of the book we indicate the meaning of some of those acronyms, abbreviations and sobriquets used so frequently by the Eurocrats and those 'in the know', much to the annoyance of those in the arts unfamiliar with the organisational structures and schemes operated at a supra-national level.
