EU energy legislation and case law handbook

This annual guide to European energy legislation and case law is a handy informational tool for those who need to be aware of precisely how the law currently stands, and the reasons that led to that state of the law. The handbook is not limited to final acts of legislation, but includes (where appropriate) proposals, debates, and guidance from the legislature. In particular, the conclusions of the European Council are helpful for understanding and predicting legislation. The second half of the book is devoted to case law, as legislation often requires the interpretation by judgments (and judgments themselves may call for some comment). Most of the book's explanations take up the remarks that were published in the European Energy Journal during the course of 2014. They are not limited to energy law, but refer also to other fields of legislation whenever their application and interpretation may influence and affect energy law.
