Synopsis

This book brings together a series of essays examining the legal and constitutional relationship between the EU and the WTO. It examines the way in which WTO law affects decision-making in the EU, and the way it affects market integration and market regulation. More generally, it examines the implications of WTO membership for constitutional theory in the EU. The essays look at, and beyond, the role of the European Court in enforcing WTO law, and consider the implications of the WTO's own dispute settlement system for the EU, as well as the responses of other institutional actors in the EU. The book covers a range of substantive areas of EU law, including cultural policy, competition law, trade in goods and services, regional policy, social policy, human rights, and the EC's external relations.

Review

.the various chapters provide a useful and well-informed account of the evolution of EU-WTO relations, even for those who find constitutionalisation a distant horizon. Joanna Gomula, University of London Europarttslig Tidskrift October 2001 All in all, this is a very important book on a very important issue for international lawyers; for academics with a special interest in international economic law (or, more modestly, in WTO law) it is essential reading. Peter Hilpold, University of Innsbruck European Journal of International Law June 2003
