In State Aid and the Energy Sector the editors have successfully combined the analytical strengths, State aid and energy sector knowledge of a large number of authors to complete an excellent book within an important area of EU law and policy. In not only concentrating on the traditional topics of EU State aid law, but also including comprehensive country reports and aspects such as WTO law, arbitration, the EEA Agreement and the Energy Community, the book succeeds in drawing the full picture of an increasingly complex area.
