Description

In recent years, the EC has enjoyed a significant increase in its profile at both national and international levels. This book explains how the legal rules which underpin the process of integration in the EC have been shaped in order to give effect to the Community's objectives. It is accordingly suitable as an introductory text designed to expose the reader to the basic constitutional and substantive principles of EC law. Community law exerts an increasingly profound impact on domesticlaw and this book equips a lawyer unfamiliar with the principles of Community law with an awareness of when and why Community law is of relevance in domestic litgation. The evolution of Community law continues apace. Increasingly, Community law has developed as an instrument of market integration and of market regulation. However, recent years have witnessed controversy about the appropriate allocation of responsibilities between the Community's own institutions and national authorities. This book provides a fully up-to-date assessment of the changing shape of the EC and its legal structure.
