Drafted by a carefully selected team of specialized practitioners, both commentaries address each single article and apply the German style approach of analyzing element-per-element. The books include specific sections dedicated to all European Union Member States and include the contributions – inter alia the Italy country sections – of LGV’s Tankred Thiem.

During the official presentation ceremony hold in Berlin, the books have been praised as being a contribution to a genuine European Union legal culture. Written in straight – forward English language and directed to professionals all throughout Europe, a particular focus is put on the ECJ’s case law. Thanks to the efforts of a joint publisher team – a team of different editors including the German C.H. Beck oHG, Nomos Verlag and the UK-based Hart Publishing – both commentaries are available not only on the European market but also in the US and in Canada.
