This unique electronic book on CD-ROM contains an extensive collection of documents and material from the federal government about the Group of Eight (G8) economic summits, including the most recent meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, in July 2006. The members of the Group of Seven (G-7) are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, which together account for about two-thirds of the world's economic output. The leaders of these largest industrialized democracies have met annually since 1975 to discuss major economic and political issues. The participants at the first meeting in Rambouillet, France in November 1975 were France, West Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Canada joined at the 1976 Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico Summit what came to be known as the G-7. Ever since, the site of the yearly Summit of the leaders has rotated among the seven countries. Since 1977, the President of the European Commission has also been represented at the Summit table. The Group of Eight (G-8) comprises the G-7 nations plus Russia. Russia began to participate in a portion of the meetings at the 1994 G-7 Summit in Naples. Russia officially became the eighth member at the 1997 Denver, Colorado, "Summit of the Eight." While Russia is a G-8 member, it does not participate in financial and economic discussions, which continue to be conducted by the G-7. Russia has the G-8's smallest economy. Other topics covered include: U.S. Mission to the European Union (EU) U.S. Exports United States and the WTO Ministerial Trade Capacity Building Assistance Millennium Challenge Corporation BISNIS Earth Observation Summit 2003
