In many areas, the extracts of this book relate to points of the judgments which are not, or only partially covered in official summaries.

How this will help you:

The importance of State aid still continues to be a major issue for competition lawyers several years after the start of the global financial crisis. Although there are a number of major works on State aid, this book is distinguished by its commentary on case law of both the Court of Justice and the General Court of the EU on State aids. There have been numerous high-profile cases since the first edition, creating an opportunity for this second edition with significant updating to at least seven chapters. As a comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date guide to case law in a key area of EU competition law, this book has no peers. As with the first edition, this book is indispensable to practitioners in the field of EU State aid law.
