1995 Henri Rolin Award for a study on international law or international relations

This book is concerned with the efforts being made to complete the internal market in the EC and the relationship between the regulation of the internal market and international (external) trade with EC states. As such it ranges broadly across a wide range of laws affecting financial services, telecommunications, goods, and services, intellectual property, agricultural products and transport.This is a detailed and thoroughly-researched account of the legal aspects of international trade with the EC in the context of the completion of the internal market in the EC. It is a subject of immense practical importance in a world economy in which international trade, particularly in financial services, transport, intellectual property, and telecommunications, plays an ever increasing part. This book examines the laws affecting all these sectors offering a detailed treatment of those areas most frequently encountered in practice. As such it will be invaluable to all practitioners and specialists involved in EC and International trade law.

`a new title in the "Oxford European Community Law Series" ... The Series has succeeded in building up a good reputation by publishing books written by excellent authors such as J.A. Usher and D. Goyder. The book under review is a valuable (Belgian) addition to the Series ... The book does what is promised in the General Editor's Foreward, it puts issues of substance, across the whole range of the subject, squarely in the foreground. This makes the book interesting for practitioners and academics' Common Market Law Review
There is plenty of extremely useful material here ... the treatment is comprehensive, thorough and very clear. * Legal Studies *
This work is a thorough academic survey of sensitive aspects of the Community's internal market programme and how they affect trade between the Community and its outside trading partners. Professor Eeckhout has undertaken a comprehensive summary and synthesis of the literature in the area and offers his own interpretations ... the author's scholarship ... points the reader to a myriad of sources and enables one to access the main currents of thought in some very difficult areas. * European Competition Law Review *
Professor Eeckhout's monograph is ... particularly timely. It represents the first comprehensive analysis of the Community laws and policies which bear on international trade ... The importance of the subject of this monograph, the excellence of its analysis and the absence of equivalent works compels a close reading of Eeckhout. * International Trade Law and Regulation *

One must hope that Eeckhout's conclusions and well-founded suggestions will not be ignored. Eeckhout's work as a whole is a most successful attempt to paint a critical picture of the administrative and legal aspects of the external trade of the European Union. The work is equally important for theory and for practice. * Journal of International Banking Law *
