Description
Law of the European Community provides a concise and non-abstract treatment of European
Community Law. The first section focuses on the institutions and general principles of EC
law in some depth, while the remaining three parts focus on the main principles of
substantive law: the free movement of persons and services, and rights of establishment;
the free movement of goods; and competition law. The book is ideally suited to
undergraduate students of European Law, modular, and distance learning courses.
