PRAISE FOR THE BOOK".essential reading for anyone interested in the existence and exercise of EU powers in the field of criminal law. oberg''s critical examination of the constitutional constraints to EU action also raises many questions that are of great interest in other areas of EU competence. The book deserves a wide readership among scholars interested in the constitutional workings of the European Union."Samuli Miettinen, University of Helsinki & Tallinn University"The main strength of this book lies in its comprehensiveness of dealing with the topical issue of EU regulatory criminal law from the fascinating perspective of limits to EU powers.

Innovative, engaging and rigorous, this is an important publication both in the field of European criminal and constitutional law.>...
