European Union Law Textbook

Deards and Hargreaves' popular "Blackstone's Study Pack" has been fully updated and revised and now takes the form of an introductory EU Law text. The text provides a clear and comprehensive analysis of the key issues in this important area of law. It is designed in particular to make the study of EU Law, an area that students often find complex and abstract, more accessible and user-friendly and makes frequent use of self-assessment questions and activities. A fully cross-referenced companion website contains all the cases and materials discussed in the text. The book details the vertical restraints block exemption (EC competition law), the latest developments on EC competition law enforcement, and proposed legislation on free movement of persons as well as recent case law in all areas covered by the text. Chapter 4 has been reorganised and now includes an analysis of each Treaty, including the Treaty of Nice, followed by analyses of each major topic area, such as subsidiarity, common foreign and security policy.1.
