Praising European Union record, good restricting international crime (10)
I believe the answer is:
eulogising
'praising' is the definition.
(eulogising is a kind of praising)
'european union record good restricting international crime' is the wordplay.
'european union' becomes 'eu'.
'record good' becomes 'logg' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'restricting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'international' becomes 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF).
'crime' becomes 'sin'.
'i'+'sin'='isin'
'logg' placed around 'isin' is 'logising'.
'eu'+'logising'='EULOGISING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eulogising that I've seen before include "Praising" , "Extolling" .)
