The Handbook of EEA Law

This
Handbook comprehensively addresses the breadth of law encompassed by the EEA
Agreement, which extends the European Union’s Single Market to three EFTA
countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

The
Handbook is first and foremost intended for practitioners and legal scholars,
but its approachable style makes it readily accessible for students. The
Handbook provides the reader with a thorough grounding in the EEA Agreement,
detailing how secondary EU law becomes applicable in the EFTA pillar, and the
roles played by the EFTA Surveillance Authority and the EFTA Court. It
considers the EEA Agreement from the respective perspectives of the national
authorities, courts, and the legal professions of Iceland, Liechtenstein and
Norway. The book meticulously examines substantive EEA law, beginning with the
general principles and the four freedoms, through competition law and State aid
to such aspects as the precautionary principle, tax law and mutual
administrative and legal assistance. Emphasis is placed on jurisprudence and
especially that of the EFTA Court.
Each

their respective fields and the book is divided into twelve parts:Part I
