Last item recalled European Union attempt to mislead about power (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epilogue

'last item' is the definition.
(eg last item in a book)

'recalled european union attempt to mislead about power' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'european' could be 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'union' could be 'u' (common abbreviation as in 'Trades Union Congress') and 'u' is present in the answer.
'power' could be 'log' (log is a kind of power) and 'log' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pie' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for epilogue that I've seen before include "Closing section" , "Postscript to play, book etc" , "End-of-play speech" , "Conclusion of story" , "Short concluding section in literary work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
