Synopsis

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 a 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 domestic law, 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 litigation.

About the Author

Stephen Weatherill, from September 1995, Professor of EC Law, Nottingham University.

Review

`'This book is the successful accomplishment of a daunting task. At last...here is a text which both assists those rewriting "old" Community modules and answers our students enquiries about the usage of the terms "EC" and "EU"...very useful text...Even though this book marks an ambitious
project, it is one which is successfully delivered. The useful and wide-ranging reading lists provided at the end of each chapter will also allow Euro-enthusiasts to futher study their requisite interests...Overall, this book worthily represents a convincing case for the full exposure of Community
law as a compulsory part of contemporary legal education and marks another scholarly addition to the successful Clarendon Law Series.''
European Law Review

`'Readers who are familiar with Professor Weatherill's previous books on EC law will not be disappointed by this, his latest work....Professor Weatherill provides a lucid account of trade law which, considering the content of the quoted court judgements, will certainly 'whet the appetite' of
readers for greater research. His analyses of Keck, Meng and Kirsammer-Hack were particularly useful...the book amounts to a succinct and readable elementary study of an ever-growing and complex area. It fulfils its goal of presenting an introductory though stimulating text, invaluable for students
coming to EC law for the first time while remaining a welcome addition to the shelves of those already involved in the field.''
Maastricht Journal

`'The great strength of this book lies in the fact that it is not a textbook in the traditional sense of the word. It is a discussion of the issues, for students, of some odf the areas of law traditionally found in standard textbooks...the book is a welcome addition to the literature. It is
full of insights into problems of European law which the more knowledgeable student can pursue. It has excellent references to further reading and it will stimulate the interest of the good student...this book has much to offer...The book deserves to be read...outside the confines of the legal
world, by anyone interested in European studies.''
