This book examines the legacy of the 2003 ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Altmark.

The book examines the European Commission s response to the Altmark ruling in the measures known as the Altmark-Monti-Kroes Package and charts the review of this package from 2009 culminating in a new package of measures, known as the Almunia Package . The seemingly technocratic...

In this book important issues are covered: is the EU Services Directive to be interpreted as law or simply policy and what are its actual effects on the regulatory autonomy of the Member States? Does it represent a new and innovative instrument which...

This is the first book ever to assess comprehensively the impact of EU international agreements on services of general interest.
Services of general interest remain high on the political and legal agenda of the European Union.

The external and international dimensions of the European legal framework for services of general interest are often overlooked. This book...

Universal service is one of the most significant regulatory issues worldwide and it is likely to remain so. The central question dealt with by the author is how the technologically intensive sector of telecommunications services can be regulated in a socially fair way in the light of liberalisation and the immense importance of ICTs in the Information Society. The...
