This sixth volume (2015) of the European Yearbook of International Economic Law puts a particular emphasis on non-tariff barriers (NTBs) to trade and the world trade order. With the steady reduction of tariff rates since the GATT 47 came into force, focus in recent years has been on the vast and complex landscape of non-tariff barriers to trade. States as well as scholars seemingly struggle with the multitude of measures pooled under this expression as there is no single, acknowledged definition of the term, and its relation to the term “non-tariff measures” remains equally blurred. Particularly in practice and on a multilateral level, there appears to be some awkwardness when it comes to coping with NTBs since multilateral trade rules seem to be in conflict with national regulatory autonomy in the pursuit of policy objectives. In part one, this volume sheds light on the problems of non-tariff barriers to trade that arise in various fields. Part two focuses on regional integration with an emphasis on relations between East Asia and the European Union. In this regard, the authors outline the trade and investment relations between the European Union and East Asia, including Japan, Korea and Singapore. Part three offers an overview of recent institutional developments in WIPO, ICSID, WTO and WTO jurisprudence. Part four includes book reviews of recent works in the field of international economic law, and part five introduces a new section on publications in the field of international economic law that were released in 2013 and 2014.

Volume 8 of the EYIEL focuses on the external economic relations of the European Union as one of the most dynamic political fields in the process of European integration. The first part of this volume analyses the recent controversial questions of the external economic relations of the Union, dealing with the complexity of mixed agreements, transparency and legitimacy issues as well as recent proposals in relation to Investor-State-Dispute Settlement, the Trade Defence Instruments and the implications of the “Brexit” in this context. The second part of EYIEL 8 addresses ongoing bilateral and multilateral negotiations of the EU with China, Japan, Australia, Canada and Taiwan. Moreover, the third part deals with the EU in international organisations and institutions, in particular the recent institutional aspects of the EU-UN relationship, representation in the IMF as well as WTO jurisprudence involving the EU in 2015. The volume concludes with reviews of recent books in international economic law.

Die Textsammlung - in synoptischer Darstellung der drei Sprachfassungen in Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch - soll den Nutzern den vergleichenden Zugang zum europäischen Primärrecht ermög­lichen. Sie ist der Erkenntnis geschuldet, dass jeder systematische Ansatz zur Auslegung des EU-Rechts den Formulierungsunterschieden der Amtssprachen Rechnung tragen muss und daher auf den Sprachenvergleich angewiesen ist. Die Textsammlung bietet somit eine erste Hilfe dafür, den "Sprung" über die eigene Sprachgrenze zu wagen. Damit eröffnet sie den Blick auf andere Rechtsordnungen und ermutigt dazu, die eigenen Rechtsansichten in der vergleichenden Perspektive kritisch zu hinterfragen. Die Rechtsordnung der Europäischen Union steht wie keine andere Rechtsordnung weltweit unter dem "Vorzeichen der Mehrsprachigkeit" und eignet sich daher besonders gut für einen rechtsvergleichenden Ansatz. Dies gilt ungeachtet der Tatsache, dass sich in den letzten Jahren die englische Sprache in den europäischen Institutionen immer stärker durchgesetzt hat. Fest steht gleichwohl, dass die unterschiedlichen Rechtssprachen der Euro­päischen Union ein echtes Hindernis für die effektive Rechtsanwendung darstellen können. Die Textsammlung soll helfen, dieses Hindernis zu überwinden.
