Reviews

`By and large, the book is a lucid exposition of EU energy law and policy as it developed and as it is, in the light of the Third Enegry Package and directives required to be implemented by 3rd March 2011. it is highly recommended for lawyers, energy market professionals, students, academics engaged in or interested in EU energy law and policy. It is also a very useful textbook for understanding EU energy law and policy which should be available in
libraries, especially within the EU.'
Tade Oyewunmi, Oil, Gas & Energy Law Intelligence
`In conclusion, this book is an accomplishment in encapsulating the range of legal issues in energy law in the EU. It required a mastery of legal, political and economic understanding to bring all the elements of energy law into one text. ... It is an ideal text for specialist and general practitioners, while it offers the academic instant access to the law and the important and emerging areas of policy and legislative conflict. There is not a more complete
work on energy law in the EU and as such it will be seen as a pioneering contribution.'
