Zusatztext ^iRegulating Services in the European Union^r is a remarkable achievement, for several reasons. First, it is a treasure trove of quantitative information on all matters related to services in EU law. ... Secondly, while the book gives the big picture especially with regard to case law and legislation, it at the same time delves deeply into some of the intricate sub-areas of services such as health care and services of general economic interest. Moreover the book broadens the perspective on what we commonly would expect of a study with this title.
