The CGMW Subcommission for Tectonic Maps prepared this map under the general co-ordination of Profs. Acad. V.E. Khain and Yu. Leonov (Geological Institute, Moscow), and the contribution of a great number of European specialists.
It reflects the tectonic evolution of emerged continental areas, from Archean complexes to Alpine orogenic belts, as well as the structural pattern of the offshore areas of the neighbouring North Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas (continental margin, oceanic crust, volcanic plateaus, …).

The inset map included in the legend sheet displays the Basement of the East European and West European platforms at 1:10 000 000 scale.
