Description

This book presents an integrated approach to general questions of European administrative law and offers some possible solutions to the problems which it poses, the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe being the point of reference. Under the Treaty general questions of administrative law are no longer addressed merely in a fragmented or incidental way but as a discipline that governs the exercise of sovereign powers by a supranational entity. This calls for a detailed examination of the fields which comprise European administrative law and the book therefore examines in some detail the key areas of rulemaking powers and normative instruments, the implications of the Charter of Fundamental Rights for European and national administrations, administrative procedure, and judicial protection within the European Union. The Foreword to the book is written by Professor Carol Harlow.

Reviews

This is a major contribution by Eva Nieto-Garrido and Isaac Martn Delgado. -- Jacques Ziller * The Law and Politics Book Review, Vol. 18 No.7 *
...adds to the growing literature on European administrative law...The book is indeed well articulated and consistent. The authors build their case step by step, adding argument to argument to show both the possibility and the expediency of a codification of European administrative law. -- Roberto Caranta * Common Market Law Review, Volume 46 Issue 1 *
...an important contribution to the developing field of European administrative law...the book can be praised for its original approach, which departs from the Constitutional Treaty to examine the innovations which contribute to shape administrative law at EU level. The book shows a clear effort of systematisation, which this field is in need of. -- Dr. Mariolina Eliantonio * The Web Journal of Current Legal Issues *
