Publisher's Synopsis
Since the last edition of this classic work on European law the rate of change in the area has continued unabated. The title has yet again changed to reflect the new European order, and the table of contents significantly enlarged to incorporate the growth of relevant material. It remains the ideal text for general European courses at undergraduate level, and will no doubt continue to serve as a reference work for legal practitioners on important points of principle.;This new edition presents a complete and up-to-date picture of the institutions of the European Union and its substantive law. In particular, there is increased coverage of the European Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance, the Community Legal Order, and Subsidiarity. There are new sections on Flexibility and External Relations. The chapters on substantive law refer in detail to the relevant provisions of the Treaties and secondary legislation and contain comprehensive and critical analysis of the evolution of the case-law of the Community Courts on the free movement of goods, persons and services, competition policy, sex discrimination, education and vocational training and external relations.
