European Union Law: Documents (Second Edition)

This is the second edition of the well-received documents collection on European Union law, first published in 1999. The volume provides a compact collection of the most important primary and secondary sources of EU law, and is a quick desk reference guide for rapid and frequent consultation. This collection differs from other EU document collections as it includes many documents relating to the institutions of the EU and their decision-making process, such as Rules of Procedure of Parliament, Council, Commission, and both Courts of the EU. All regulations and directives are reproduced with their preambles and all documents are printed with article headlines, most of which have been added by the editor.˜(This collection is Volume 1 of a three-volume set on European Union law which will be published in 2008/2009. Volume 2 will cover European Union case law and Volume 3 will be a textbook on the European Union.)
