What one should know about the European Union (EU)
A Compact Introduction to European Union Law
The law of the European Union (EU) has reached a considerable compass and influences the national laws significantly. This textbook presents the fundamentals of EU law in a concise and precise manner, using illustrative examples.
Clearly structured and easy to understand, it explains the key aspects of the EU, its institutions, and their role in the decision-making process. It also covers the central principles of EU law and the fundamental freedoms of the internal market.
A separate chapter shows how the legal sources used in the textbook can be researched on the EU websites. This makes the book particularly suitable for a compact introduction to European law and for targeted exam preparation.
