Discover more about these book series:
EU Competition Law series
Given the breadth of community competition law, it has been decided to produce a number of separate but linked and co-ordinated titles, covering all issues in depth. All volumes will share the same presentation and approach and will be fully cross referenced for ease of use.
EU Energy Law series
This highly acclaimed law and policy series started in 2004. It focuses on all legislation on EU Energy Law and monitors all developments in the EU energy law making. These major works include the internal market, competition law in energy markets, renewable energy, energy infrastructure, security of supply, energy efficiency, external energy law and policy, and REMIT. They focus on the legislation, directives and regulations and the implementations in all member states and are written by DG ENER officials, academics and lawyers. The EU Energy Law series is considered the most relevant series on the topic of European energy law making.
