Publisher's Synopsis
This looseleaf publication covers the legal and economic aspects of the use of the ECU in the member states of the European Union. It sets out the consequences of the choice of the ECU in financial, commercial and legal operations, in every member state. It provides an answer to two questions: when can the ECU be used? and if it can be used, what are the possibilities of and the limits to its use? Each chapter, devoted to one of the member states, includes: a general and practical presentation of the legal, economic and technical aspects of the use of the ECU in specific industries and transactions; an economic analysis of the use of the ECU in such transactions; a general conclusion, foreseeing future legal and technical prospects of monetary union. Updates are published semi-annually. Information access is facilitated by an index and paragraph numbering.
