A must-have handbook for anyone working at or with EU institutions
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the European Union and its functioning from a political, economic as well as legal perspective, outlining the EU’s institutions, policies and legal and decision-making mechanisms in simple language. It also contains a glossary of 400 terms, which can serve as a compendium on its own.
This book owes much of its success to the fact that it evolves together with the European Union, keeping its readers abreast of the latest changes in Europe’s architecture. One would be hard pressed to find many volumes that follow the EU’s development so closely, with subsequent editions published so frequently. This latest edition presents the post-Lisbon Union as overhauled by the Treaty of Lisbon, discussing the latest policy reforms from Europe’s response to the financial and economic crisis to agricultural policy reforms, from the EU as a global player to a revised European energy policy. As in the case of previous editions, the Handbook gives an exhaustive and up-to-date overview of the Union, making it an essential read for those who want to know more about the EU and how it works.

An in-depth analysis on European labour and social security laws
For centuries, Europe consisted of numerous sovereign nations each with its own legal system. However, in recent decades Europe has slowly emerged as a single power alongside other superpowers, such as the US, Russia, China, Japan and India. Rather than studying the separate legal systems of the European nation states, an ever-growing number of people show an interest in studying the common features of the legal systems of the countries that make up the EU.
The aim of this book is to present a satellite view on labour law and social security law in the Member States of the European Union.

An analysis on the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO)
The European Anti-Fraud Office (Office de lutte anti-fraude, OLAF) was created in 1999 in the wake of the political crisis which led to the collective resignation of the European Commission. It has operated for more than ten years in a specific legal and institutional environment, which in turn, has been affected by the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. The latter put an end to the pillar structure of the EU, turned the Charter of Fundamental Rights into a binding legal instrument and laid the foundation for the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO). Starting from the broader context of the protection of EU financial interests and touching upon the circumstances surrounding OLAF's creation, this book provides an in-depth analysis of OLAF's position within this context.

Bottom-up involvement of stakeholders and concerned individuals
In modern-day western societies it is thought that individualism trumps collectivism. There is change from the paradigm of hierarchy to a paradigm of cooperation. This affects administrative law, which is traditionally top-down, but is slowly accepting and incorporating mechanisms of negotiation and bottom-up involvement of stakeholders and concerned individuals.

A comprehensive insight into all the different aspects of the Returns Directive.
On 24 December 2010 the deadline for the transposition of the Returns Directive (2008/115/EC, Directive on Common Standards and Procedures in Member States for Returning Illegally Staying Third Country Nationals) expired. The lectures on which this book is based were originally given during a Jean Monnet Centre for Migration Law seminar on the Returns Directive that took place in Nijmegen at the Centre for Migration Law, Radboud University, on Monday 14 February 2011. In light of the very substantial level of interest, we have decided to publish a book on the results of the seminar so that people who were not able to attend may benefit from the wealth of knowledge and information which was shared.
This book offers insight into all the different aspects of the Returns Directive.

The "directive of shame", an analysis on the negotiations that brought about the EC Return Directive
The Return Directive was the first major piece of EU migration legislation adopted jointly by the European Parliament (EP) and Council under co-decision procedure (since 2009: ordinary legislative procedure). Its adoption in 2008 was accompanied by a tide of protest from NGOs, qualifying it as "directive of shame". Why was it possible to find a compromise, in spite of the very divergent positions of the EP and Council? What were the key issues under discussion? How would the directive look if it had been adopted without EP involvement? What lessons can be drawn for the future? Is it really a "directive of shame"?
This book provides answers to these questions, built upon concrete and verifiable examples and case studies. It is accompanied by an annex, containing relevant background documents, which provide detailed insight into the development of the text during the negotiations.

Once upon a time... there was an inhuman war.
"Once upon a time, not so very long ago (although it may seem ages ago to young people who have grown up with mobile telephones, pizza delivery services, music downloads and social networking web sites), there was an inhuman war. Of course, all wars are inhuman, but this one was really horrible, worse than anything anyone could remember."
Egbert Myjer and Peter Kempees` fairy tale was originally written as a contribution to a liber amicorum for fellow judge Renate Jaeger. Myjer decided to address the backlog problem of the European Court of Human Rights from an unaccustomed perspective. He chose to write a thinly disguised allegorical story based on fact. Peter Kempees reworked the text, which was originally written in Dutch. Together they worked on what will from now on be known as 'Jack and the Solemn Promise, a cautionary tale'.

Insight into the legal changes of military interventions for EU member states
'Military interventions in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan led to fierce debates about their legality. To what extend are UN Security Council Resolutions needed as a legal bases for interventions in other countries? Or, do interventions gain legitimacy by virtue of the size and ability of the “Coalition of the Willing”? During and after interventions other legal challenges emerge. In modern conflict, hostilities take the form of military operations against irregular troops. As combatants cannot be distinguished from non-combatants, there is a high risk of civilian casualties. The result is that operations against opposing forces can easily become war crimes. From a legal perspective modern warfare and stabilization operations are high risk undertakings, which are easily subject to public scrutiny. This book brings together the accounts of criminal proceedings in Member States where such interventions took place, and provides valuable insight into the legal challenges of military interventions.' - Rob de Wijk, Professor of International Relations, Leiden University; Director of The Hague Center for Strategic Studies.

Legal basis and practice in the field of pre-trial (or remand) detention in the European Union
This study “An Analysis of Minimum Standards in Pre-trial Detention and the Grounds for Regular Review in the Member States of the EU”, funded by the EU Commission, aimed at taking stock of the legal basis and practice in the field of pre-trial (or remand) detention in the European Union.
The authors intended to focus not only on the law in the books but also on the law in practice. To this end, the project team collected and analysed material from all 27 Member States of the European Union. There is a particular emphasis on the scope and definition of pre-trial detention (including the role and organization of police custody), the grounds of detention, its length, review procedures, and the legal safeguards of the suspect. The practical situation is analysed by using statistical materials, national jurisdiction as well as jurisdiction by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), reports by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and other national or international human rights bodies and non-governmental organizations.
Particular attention is paid to vulnerable groups such as juveniles, female prisoners, and foreigners.The outcome of the study is a comprehensive compendium (including a summary introduction) on the relevant legislation and legal practice of pre-trial detention in 27 country reports.

International cooperation between EU and US judicial and law enforcement authorities for data protection-related criminal matters
In this book, three specific elements are joined in one research for the first time. The protection of personal data in criminal matters as a first element is studied in two relationships: the cooperation in criminal matters between judicial and law enforcement authorities of the European Union member states (including Europol and Eurojust) on the one hand and the cooperation in criminal matters between the judicial and law enforcement authorities of the European Union (including Europol and Eurojust) and the United States of America on the other hand.
This book offers answers to the central question whether the European Union complies with its own standards of data protection in these internal relations and in the transatlantic cooperation in criminal matters.

GofS Research Paper Series on European criminal justice, financial and economic crime
In this book, a first cluster of four articles concern European criminal justice matters, in particular relating to EU mutual recognition (conceptualization, unwanted effects in the context of prisoner transfer and sentence execution, and impact for cross-border gathering and use of forensic expert evidence) and concluding with an article on interrogational fairness standards.
A second cluster of five articles addresses financial and economic crime subjects, ranging from informal economy (among street children) to formal/informal economy (vulnerability of the hotel and catering industry to crime) and white collar crime phenomena like (transnational) environmental crime, fraud and corruption.
A last cluster groups a variety of selected, topical issues (juvenile offending and mental disorders, desistance theories and sexually transmitted infections).

Challenges to separation of powers and legal and procedural protection in criminal matters and data protection in the EU
The landscape of cross-border evidence gathering in criminal matters in the EU has become blurred. Non-traditional actors, such as administrative authorities and intelligence services, have joined traditional judicial and law enforcement authorities in a domain which used to be looked upon as predominantly judicial cooperation territory. Criminal justice and administrative finalities run the risk of being constantly mixed up. Gert Vermeulen believes that restoring the balance requires stepping away from traditional authority-based thinking and policy-making.

Transnational developments of police cooperation in Europe
For the past few decades the so-called transnationalisation of the police in Europe has evolved rapidly. An amalgam of cooperation, information-exchange and informal relations was established between national police organisations. This volume is based on two main questions. Firstly, what are the developments of the police and police cooperation in Europe at a supranational level? And secondly, what are the different reactions of police organisations in individual European countries to the process of European transnationalisation in terms of the design of and philosophy within their police organisation?

An in-depth study of cross border execution of custodial sentences in the EU
The introduction in 2008 of the Framework Decision on the application of the principle of mutual recognition to judgements in criminal matters imposing custodial sentences or measures involving deprivation of liberty for the purpose of their enforcement in the European Union sparked discussions as to whether the practical operation of the instrument would be compatible with its very objective, being the enhancement of detained persons’ social rehabilitation prospects.
Transferring detained people back to their respective Member State of residence and/or nationality within the mutual recognition framework is somewhat precarious in light of the often substantial variety of Member States’ legal and prison systems. In this context, and following a call for tender by the European Commission, the authors conducted the biggest study to date on Member States’ material detention conditions, early/conditional release provisions and sentence execution modalities. In addition to exploring the diversity of legal frameworks, the study also assessed practitioners’ views on cross border execution of custodial sentences in the EU.

Full-scale overview of cross-border gathering, obtaining and admissibility of evidence in criminal matters between the EU member states
The initial aim of the study was to obtain up-to-date information on the national laws of the EU member states on the gathering and handling of evidence and to analyse that information in the light of recent developments in legislation governing cross-border transmission of evidence, in particular the 2008 European Evidence Warrant. In addition, it was the intention of the European Commission to initiate preparatory work on a legal instrument that would expand the scope of application of the European Evidence Warrant in order to further replace the existing regime of mutual legal assistance within the EU by a mechanism based on the mutual recognition principle. As a result, the study was broadened as to also assess whether or not a mutual recognition-based EU mutual legal assistance regime is desirable and feasible.
This book provides an in-depth and full-scale overview of the current situation relating to cross-border gathering, obtaining and admissibility of evidence in criminal matters between the EU member states, as well as clear-cut future legal and policy options.

Essential reading for EU policy makers, judicial and law enforcement authorities and organisations working in human trafficking, sexually exploited and missing children
Recent European Union policy discussions have again highlighted the urgent need for consistent recording and analysis of data relating to trafficking in human beings. Without such a framework, the Union’s ability to assess the scale and nature of the problem and, consequently, to formulate effective policy responses is severely impaired. MONTRASEC – a model for monitoring trafficking in human beings, sexually exploited and missing children – demonstrates that real progress can be made in addressing these long standing difficulties.
This book describes how a workable IT tool with contents based on international legal instruments and definitions concerning the three phenomena, has been designed and tested by a range of operational agencies in two separate EU member states. “The MONTRASEC demo” shows that it is actually possible to move beyond theoretical discussions concerning data collection to a point where agencies operating in the field are prepared to work within a unified and consistent data collection regime, inputting “live” data which can thereafter be analysed at member state and European Union level.
This book is essential reading for EU policy makers, judicial and law enforcement authorities and organisations working in the fields of trafficking in human beings, sexually exploited and missing children both in the European Union and in a broader international context. It will also appeal to the research community and anyone with an interest in justice and home affairs or criminal policy initiatives in the European Union.

Essential reading for anyone involved in EU criminal policy initiatives
EULOCS – the EU level offence classification system – brings together the current EU substantive criminal law acquis, building essentially on offence definitions referred to in legal instruments included in the EU JHA acquis. In doing so, EULOCS clarifies the scope between EU competence and national sovereignty with regard to defining criminal behaviour.
With this book, EULOCS is bench-marked as a reference index for serving various needs in the broader EU criminal policy area, having the potential to significantly enhance the internal coherence thereof. The proposed reference index, with offence definitions inherent to it, fundamentally addresses the problem created by the organic elaboration and adoption of legal instruments at EU level, making reference to certain offence categories the scope or definition whereof is most often either not clarified or indicated, or left to the discretion of the individual member state(s).

An essential book comparing criminal justice data within the EU
One of the main deficiencies in the EU area of freedom, security and justice, is the lack of cross-country comparable data on crime and criminal justice. The importance of progress in this domain, especially in the context of the identification of best practices in the fight against crime, has been pointed out on several occasions. The main difficulty lies in the comparability of data, or in other words the guarantee that exchanged data is understood in the same way by all actors.
In March 2007, the European Commission, DG JLS, launched a call for tender for a “Study on the development of an EU level offence classification system and an assessment of its feasibility to supporting the implementation of the Action Plan to develop an EU strategy to measure crime and criminal justice” – The Crime Statistics Project (CSP). This book contains the fi nal report of that Project, conducted by Unisys Belgium and IRCP in the course of 2008-2009.

Dit handboek biedt de lezer een duidelijke synthese van Europese btw-wetgeving, rechtspraak en rechtsleer
Dit handboek biedt de lezer een duidelijke synthese van Europese btw-wetgeving, rechtspraak en rechtsleer. Het behandelt meer bepaald de Europese btw-richtlijn, de btw-verordening en het VAT package. Ruim 400 arresten van het Europees Hof van Justitie zijn verwerkt, wat zorgt voor een praktisch exhaustieve bespreking van de Europese btw-rechtspraak ter zake.
Anders dan andere handboeken terzake, bespreekt deze uitgave de wetgeving van de Europese Unie. Nationale wetgeving of rechtspraak wordt niet specifiek behandeld. Telkens zijn er wel uitgebreide verwijzingen naar relevante rechtsleer, ook als deze eerder nationaal georiënteerd is. Het boek wil in de eerste plaats praktisch bruikbaar zijn. Daarom verduidelijken vele voorbeelden de materie.

Het Bosman arrest geldt voor velen als het belangrijkste voorbeeld van de ‘inmenging’ van de Europese Unie in sport. De toepassing van het Europees recht gaat echter veel verder. In dit boek analyseert An Vermeersch het optreden van de Europese instellingen omtrent dopingreglementering, selectiecriteria voor internationale competities, voetbalmakelaars, collectieve verkoop van sportuitzendrechten, ticketverkoop, het vrijgeven van spelers voor nationale ploegen, transferregels, nationaliteitsclausules enz. Daarbij wordt niet alleen de concrete toepassing van de Europese regels inzake vrij verkeer en mededinging behandeld maar wordt ook een ruimer analysekader geschetst dat een antwoord moet bieden op de vraag of een sportregel al dan niet strijdig is met het Europees recht.
