The third edition of EU Customs Law provides a fully updated treatment of legislation, new treaties and cases in the two courts of the EU especially but also in Member States.

This volume also includes commentary on the Modernized Community Customs Code and Implementing Regulation and increased coverage of areas such as the wider role of customs authorities apart from the collection of customs duty, such as security of goods and post 9/11 developments generally, the history of customs unions and their implications for governments, non-EU customs unions to which EU law is relevant, and the inter-relation between customs duty and direct tax.

Arvustused

All those concerned with trade law and with the operation of the customs union will welcome this clear, expert, and systematic exposition of the subject. Because of its focus on the guiding principles, as developed in particular in the case law of the Court of Justice, and by its emphasis on the place of customs law within the Community legal system and international law, the book will appeal also to an even wider readership. * Wordtrade.com *
