[provides] a detailed discussion and analysis of the areas of EU law involved and will thus be attractive to academics. It also gives an explanation of, and lends clarity to, some of the complex issues involved in this highly important area of law and rights. Those who are not primarily EU law specialists, but who have an interest in any of the topics discussed, will also therefore find it interesting and enlightening to read.
