Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Law of the Single European Market: Unpacking the Premises by Edited by Catherine Barnard Edited by Joanne Scott
This edited collection explores the legal foundations of the single market project in Europeand examines the legal concepts and constructs which underpin its operation. While an apparently well-trodden area of EU law such is the rapid evolution of the European Courts case law that confusion persists as to the meaning of core concepts. The approach adopted is a thematic one with each theme being explored in the context of the different freedoms. The themes covered include discrimination horizontality mutual recognition market access pre-emption and harmonization enforcement mandatory requirements flexibility subsidiarity and proportionality. Separate chapters explore the link between competition law and the single market the rapidly evolving case law on capital and the external dimension of the single market. Contributors also address the WTO dimension and its important implications for the single market project in Europe.show more
