tailieunhanh - EU Criminal Law and Justice

Following the signing of the Lisbon Treaty the authors took a strategic decision to ring-fence discussions of the relevant changes in the book. If you read the ‘boxed text’ throughout this book, you will realise that the changes affecting the field of criminal law contained in the Lisbon Treaty are particularly important. The value of this ring-fencing approach was demonstrated when on Friday 13 June 2008 the legislation necessary to ratify the Lisbon Treaty by Ireland was rejected in a referendum. At present, the EU and Member State leadership are unsure whether and (if so) how to salvage at least some of the reforms contained in the Lisbon Treaty | EU Criminal Law and Justice ELGAR EUROPEAN LAW Series editor John Usher Professor of European Law and Head School of Law University of Exeter UK European integration is the driving force behind constant evolution and change in the laws of the member states and the institutions of the European Union. This important series will offer short state-of-the-art overviews of many specific areas of EU law from competition law to consumer law and from environmental law to labour law. Whilst most books will take a thematic vertical approach others will offer a more horizontal approach and consider the overarching themes of EU law. Distilled from rigorous substantive analysis and written by some of the best names in the field as well as the new generation of scholars these books are designed both to guide the reader through the changing legislation itself and to provide a firm theoretical foundation for advanced study. They will be an invaluable source of reference for scholars and postgraduate students in the fields of EU law and European integration as well as lawyers from the respective individual fields and policymakers within the EU.
