This is the new revised English edition of a Commentary on the basic European Treaties which has already very successfully gone through five editions written in German. It comprises concise article-by-article comments on the Treaty of the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU in their latest versions, supplemented by the Charter of Fundamental Rights (including the comments of the European Convent's Presidency) and the Treaty Protocols. The authors, all of them specialists in European Law, provide a compact overview of the European primary law and also refer to the relevant secondary law. They give introductions to the particular legal areas and attach particular importance to the current case law of the European Court of Justice.

In this book the Treaties are analysed article-by-article consistently using a common systematic, beginning with the norm's text, a list of specific literature, and followed by an overview and a concise analysis of the norm. Focus is laid on the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The Commentary caters for the needs of both beginners in the field of European law and more experienced practitioners in need of some kind of reassurance.
