The Substantive Law of the EU The Four Freedoms

This book focuses on the substantive law of the EU with regard to the free movement of goods, persons, services, and capital. An introductory chapter outlines the background to EU law in this sphere; the role of free trade theory, the development of economic integration until the present day,and the fundamental principles underpinning this development.The following sections then provide a detailed examination of the major categories - goods, persons, services and capital - and a concluding section deals with the legal issues raised by the ongoing process of harmonisation within the single market. The author makes judicious use of case studies toillustrate and develop central issues, diagrams and flowcharts to clarify the more complex areas of this sphere of EU law.Online Resource Centre* Web links* Updates
