As of October 2008, liner shipping companies lose their privileged status under EU competition law due to withdrawal of the liner conference block exemption, which generously authorized horizontal price-fixing and similar agreements between liner shipping companies. Where the liner consortia block exemption does not apply, all cooperative activity should be carefully and individually assessed under the competition provisions of the EC Treaty. Alla Pozdnakova has taken this opportunity to research and write an in-depth study of competition law problems in the liner shipping context. Her analys

The EC Treaty may effectively alter the content of tax treaties, a matter of crucial importance to international tax planning techniques. The laws of the member states of the European Union (EU) and the tax treaties they conclude must be consistent with European Community (EC) law. Apart from EC Directives and Regulations, the EC Treaty itself contains rules directly applicable to matters of international taxation. In this context, the decisions of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the fundamental freedoms laid down in the EC Treaty are of primary importance. If a provision of a t

China enjoys the highest level of foreign investment of any country in the world today, and is to all appearances intent on maintaining and even increasing that level. Yet, despite substantial liberalisation pursuant to China s WTO commitments, investment in China remains tightly circumscribed. For complex reasons stemming from China s protection of its own internal economy, the government hedges each form of foreign invested enterprise (FIE) with complex rules for qualification and approval. Many sectors of the economy remain fenced off from foreign investors, while investors in other sectors

The foundations of tort law in European systems differ considerably. Until recently, there was no attempt to harmonize the entire field of tort law in a consistent and comprehensive manner. A group of tort law experts, the ¿European Group on Tort Law¿, has been engaged over the last 11 years in systematically researching the most fundamental questions underlying the various tort law systems. The result of their work is this important series of books, which seeks a common law of Europe without the need to lay these principles down in formal legal texts, such as a European civil code. In th

The commentary interprets the law whenever possible article by article, section by section, and concept by concept, with reference to relevant case law and legal literature as issues arise. Illustrating their reasoning throughout with practical examples, the authors also take account of anticipated developments and future reforms that are likely to have an impact on the existing legislation. All texts are structured in paragraphs that are consecutively numbered to enable easy cross-referencing. Because national audiovisual media law must be interpreted in the light of primary and secondary Eu
