This book provides a clear and concise account of EU law’s structure and functioning, covering both institutional and substantive law as well as the interplay between them. Written in an accessible style and updated for this new edition, the text offers a highly valuable introduction to EU law, not only for students, but also for legal practitioners wishing to get a grasp on this complex area of the law and on the European Union.’
