The European Union and Member State Territories: A New Legal Framework Under the EU Treaties
Vai alla copia |
The book reviews the EU Treaties
provisions governing relations between the EU and Member State territories, such
as the Netherlands Antilles, the UK Channel Islands and the French Overseas
Departments. The book includes an overview of each of the relevant territories,
including their present constitutional relations with their Member State and
their legal relations with the EU. Prior to the entry into force of the Lisbon
Treaty, the over-arching Treaty provision for this relationship was Article 299
of the EC Treaty. Having traced the development of Article 299 from 1957 to the
present Lisbon framework, the book identifies many inconsistencies and issues
with this current framework and proposes a new model framework, one that is more
concise and up-to-date and which is adaptable to possible future developments. A
useful book for EU Law departments and research centres, EU think tanks, EU
institutions libraries, Permanent Representatives to the EU and law firms
specializing in EU law.
