Guinchard, Emmanuel / Panara, Carlo (eds.), The New Relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. 485 pp. 2025:1 (Springer, GW) <736-717>

Brexit has reshuffled the cards of the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. It is a one in a lifetime event, which ended nearly 50 years of EU Membership. EU law as such no longer applies in the United Kingdom and British citizens and companies no longer benefit from its advantages. Part of the previous regime has however been maintained (at times with amendments) through the series of treaties negotiated between the UK and the EU in 2019 and 2020, in particular the Trade and Cooperation Agreement of 2020, to which the 2023 Windsor Agreement can be added. The end result is a legal regime which is perhaps even more complex than EU law itself. This book aims to provide the reader with a clarification of this legal regime as well as provide context to it and suggestions to improve it. All key topics are covered, such as citizens of the EU in the UK and British citizens in the EU, trade in goods and in services, criminal justice, public procurement, Northern Ireland, the UK overseas territories, the dispute settlement, security and defence, international trade agreements of the UK post-Brexit, environmental protection, European civil justice, financial services, education and research, and the European offices of the UK local authorities and devolved administrations after Brexit. All the chapters follow, wherever possible, the same triadic structure. The first part looks at the regime prior to Brexit; the second part analyses the current regime; and the third part discusses ongoing and predictable trends. The concluding chapter attempts to identify some themes likely to impact on the forthcoming preparation of the 2026 review.

This open access book establishes an interpretative framework by means of a functionalist-originalist reading of EU law and comparative federalism, in particular US constitutional law. The EU is undergoing one of the most profound structural crises of its history, relating to the rule of law and fundamental rights. The author conceptualises the existential question in terms of ontology, constitutional legitimacy, doctrine and institutional process. By providing the first conceptual methodology (based on comparative federalism and focusing on law and rights) the book develops proposals which can be used to address the EU's current constitutional challenges.

Through a re-examination of the opt-outs individually, collectively and temporally, the book sheds light on their legal design and their interplay between international law, EU law and national law. This pioneering book takes a legal-doctrinal approach, which provides readers with a solid understanding of the opt-outs. Academics, judges and European Union civil servants will find this invaluable.

This book delves into the integration of sustainability within the European Union's external activities, emphasizing the necessity to weave 'sustainability' throughout its relations with third states and international organizations. Unique in its approach, this collective work brings together a diverse range of experts, each contributing a chapter that explores different facets of sustainability in the context of the EU's increasing external actions. The pressing demands for sustainable development, as outlined in the EU Treaties-specifically Articles 3(5) and 21 of the TEU and Articles 11 and 191 of the TFEU-are examined through a compilation of theoretical analyses, legal dogmatic approaches, and detailed case studies. These contributions aim to offer a cohesive understanding of the legal implications and strategies for embedding sustainability into the EU's external engagements, providing a multidisciplinary perspective on a critical global issue. Furthermore, the book critically examines how sustainability is operationalized within various EU external policies, providing readers with a deep dive into the mechanisms and outcomes of such integration. It addresses the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the EU in maintaining its commitment to sustainability, making it a timely contribution to the discourse on global environmental policy and governance. Designed for scholars, legal practitioners, policymakers, and students interested in European Union law, sustainability, and external relations, this collective work serves as an essential resource. It offers a nuanced perspective on the complexities of legal frameworks that govern the EU's sustainable external actions and their significant impact on global environmental governance. Ramses A.

Sustainable migration is the new objective of the EU migration policy. But what does this mean in terms of legal design? What instruments should be put in place to achieve it? And most importantly what does it imply for migrants' rights? While sustainability has attracted scholarly attention in law and politics already since the 1990s, sustainable migration is an extremely understudied topic with no conclusive research carried on the matter. The book covers a unique scholarly gap by being the first ever contribution that traces the history of sustainable migration in EU law, demonstrates its limitations and potentials and puts forward concrete proposals on how EU migration law should develop in the future. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

EU移民政策と欧州委員会の役割
Carrera, Sergio / Colombi, Davide, Irregularising Human Mobility: EU Migration Policies and the European Commission's Role. (SpringerBriefs in Law) 91 pp. 2024:12 (Springer, GW) <736-548>
ISBN 978-3-031-74020-6 paper ¥11,601.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This is an open access book. What is the history and current state of play of EU law and policy covering irregularised human mobility? What has been the role and contributions of the 2019-2024 European Commission as regards EU migration policy? This book investigates how migration policies have been problematised at the EU institutional level, in particular by the European Commission. It critically assesses the assumptions lying behind the Commission's political priorities, agendas and policy outputs. Through the concept of irregularity assemblages, the book examines how EU policy professionals and bureaucracies in the relevant Commission services problematise their respective mandates/portfolios; how they interact with each other and even compete; and how they frame certain forms of human mobility as being an 'irregular migration problem' or not. After retracing key historical developments in the framing of irregularised human mobilities at the EU level, the book identifies six policy approaches in the work and structures of the 2019-2024 European Commission. It finds that a home affairs and criminalisation approach that prioritises a law enforcement understanding of cross-border and intra-EU mobility, and pursuing a Ministry of Interior-like agenda, has prevailed. This approach stands at odds with human dignity and other legitimate public policy approaches, such as those giving priority to employment and social inclusion, non-discrimination, and fundamental rights, where the administrative migration status of the individual is not the entry point. The overriding priority driving EU migration policy has been the expulsion, policing and criminalisation of people framed or categorised as 'irregular migrants'. The analysis shows how Commission has failed to effectively perform its role as guardian of the Treaties and unequivocally enforce and comply with EU Treaty constitutive values, EU law and Better Regulation commitments in migration policies.

Gorecka, Arletta, The Interface between Competition Law and Data Privacy Law: Violation of Privacy as an Exploitative Theory of Harm under Article 102 TFEU. 229 pp. 2024:10 (Springer, GW) <736-551>
ISBN 978-3-031-73864-7 hard ¥32,490.- (税込) EUR 139.99 *

This book assesses the extent to which the current EU competition law framework can incorporate privacy-related theories of harm. Specifically, it evaluates the importance of protecting individual privacy in establishing exploitative abuse of dominance under Article 102 TFEU. The book explores scenarios where Big Tech firms exploit their dominant positions through excessive data collection or limiting consumer choice, thereby harming competition and directly affecting user well-being. It posits that zero-priced business models of online platforms and the ubiquity of data generation create strong incentives to acquire and process consumer data, which can harm digital consumers' privacy. The book assesses how the existing EU competition law framework can address and regulate exploitative abuses, particularly concerning the protection of individuals' privacy. Importantly, this book argues that competition law might recognize privacy-related harms as forming exploitative theories of harm under Article 102 TFEU. Article 102 TFEU offers flexibility and can be applied to a broader range of unfair practices. Article 102 TFEU emphasizes enhanced transparency and predictability, aiming to prevent abuses of dominant positions that could undermine healthy competition, to the detriment of consumers and other market participants. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of how the existing EU competition law framework can address the evolving challenges at the intersection of competition and privacy, ultimately seeking to protect consumer welfare and ensure fair competition in the digital economy.

ISBN 978-1-5099-8042-0 hard ¥23,936.- (税込) GB￡ 85.00 *

This book examines the European Court of Justice's principles relating to composite decision-making. Through rigorous case law analysis, it shows how these rely on national and Union observance of rule of law requirements, under what the book calls the 'Unitary Protection' doctrine. It explores the theoretical dimension of this doctrine, illustrating how it represents a departure from the EU's foundational federalist approach to administrative law. This fills a long-standing gap in the literature and in our full understanding of composite decision-making, a key tenet of EU law. EU constitutional and administrative law scholars will be fascinated by this compelling study.

This book develops a systematic analysis of the principle of proportionality of penalties in EU law.Until now, the principle has been mainly assessed from a criminological point of view. By departing from existing literature, the book advances an original EU law perspective on proportionality of penalties, which underlies the analysis of its theorisation, place and influence on domestic criminal systems. Building upon this approach, scholarly contributions in the book systematically delve into the various implications of the principle in EU law, while paying particular attention to its profound interaction with criminal law concepts.

This book provides a systematic and analytical account of the problems facing transnational criminal justice.It details actual problems arising in the transnational prosecution of crimes; assesses existing obstacles on admissibility of evidence; in particular with regard to electronic evidence, assesses the impact that the impediment of free circulation of evidence has on fundamental rights of the defendants facing criminal trial; and finally drafts a proposal for the future of regulation for this complex topic.The book therefore contributes to the debate on the creation of an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice in the EU. It offers insights on how to outline the main general rules that could be adopted at EU level in a manner that adequately balances the need for efficiency in prosecution and the protection of human rights.With contributions of renowned experts in the field, the book addresses the discussion of a potential legislative proposal with the help of insight into the experience and conceptual context of the rules of evidence at the national level. The legislative proposal was adopted by the European Law Institute, who supported the work reflected in this book.

This book, finished in September 2023, addresses the fundamental principles enshrined in Resolution 2625 (XXV): sovereignty, the principle of non-intervention, the prohibition of the use of force, and self-determination. Studying these principles can help us understand some of the main features of international law and the international community in the 21st century: the role of traditional and new subjects alike; the sources of international law; issues of international responsibility; and new international challenges. For this purpose, the book analyses in each chapter the main controversial practices regarding principles. In addition, a section is devoted to an analysis of the particular relationship between the European Union and these principles, given the EU's unique role as an important evolution in international law as both a subject and treaty maker. Further, the EU provides an example of the institutionalisation of the international community and helps to solidify the concept. The book is chiefly intended for experts on International Law. Its purpose is to offer an updated vision of the international community through analysis of the core principles of international law, highlighting contradictions and problems regarding its application and interpretation. The book should also be of great interest and value to those starting careers in international law, offering them key insights into the international community and the roots of the international system.

Her contribution and legacy is expertly assessed over six parts of this book spanning: her career: EU constitutional law; fundamental rights and citizenship; litigation; internal market; and external relations. This is a worthy commentary on a truly remarkable legal legacy.
