Description
Analysis of the origins, aims
and implementation of the EU energy directives is essential to an understanding of the
emerging internal market in energy in the European Union. This book provides a detailed
and practical account of the legislation and the various developments in the Member States
that are leading to a competitive energy market for the first time. It explains the
legislation, EU case law and the relevant national laws, regulations and competence of the
enforcing authorities.
Readership: Practitioners and academics specializing in the energy sector (including oil
companies, energy utilities, government, and law firms) in Europe and worldwide;
international organisations; energy law students; reference libraries in the UK and
worldwide.
