The EU Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights

This is the type of Oxford University Press (OUP)-commentary that students, practitioners, and scholars of EU law have all been waiting for ... The commentary itself comes with a table of contents at the beginning, is preceded by the original provision, a bibliography of relevant scholarly literature, legal instruments such as resolutions or declarations, and references to case law of the European Court of Justice. Each title of the EU treaties is introduced with an overview of the relevant articles and their content as well as a selected biography or a cross-reference to the literature mentioned in the discussion of other provisions ... Leaving aside the obviously tremendous legal value of this commentary, the editors might have contributed a small part to instill a bit of European Verfassungspatriotismus as well. * Ralph Janik, University of Vienna, Austrian Review of International and European Law *
The Commentary brilliantly balances the academic approach with an eye for practitioners looking for a thorough but concise and practical guide to the articles of the EU Treaties and Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It is highly recommended. * Riccardo Sciaudone, The European Commercial Law Observatory *
