Reviews

This is the first book-length treatment of EU state-aid law in the energy sector... The map drawn by the book offers useful guidance to the readers and also alerts them to the number of open issues. -- Giuseppe Bellantuono, University of Trento, Italy * International Energy Law Review *
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. -- Henrik Bjrnebye, Scandinavian Institute of Maritime Law * Oil, Gas & Energy Law Intelligence *
Given the significance of public policies and public funding of the energy sector, the book edited by Hancher, Hauteclocque and Salerno is a timely contribution to the literature ... Its value lies in being a comprehensive and authoritative reference book. -- Phedon Nicolaides * Common Market Law Review *
