This book looks at the changing role and nature of the regulation of State intervention in the liberalised and privatised markets of the European Union. It examines how the traditional role of the State is now challenged by European Union law, and the implications for traditional public services provided by the State. For the first time in an academic work, the book brings together the interaction of the Internal Market and the Competition rules of the European Union when they are applied to State economic activity. Individual chapters examine specific rules which address squarely the permissible role of State activity in competitive markets, for example an examination of the State aid rules, the rules in Article 86 EC regulating State monopolies and the controversial application of Articles 81 and 82 EC to the State. Other chapters examine the processes of privatisation and liberalisation with case studies on the postal sector, utilities and telecommunications.
First published in 1998, this volume drew upon a variety of primary and secondary sources from a number of academic disciplines. European Union Law provides not merely the materials which form the law, but also analysis of the pressures, ideologies and agents which have shaped it. It is suitable for newer types of European Union law courses which trace the development of the European Union from economic to political community as well as for the more traditional courses which focus predominantly upon the law of the Institutions and of the internal market. Suitable for both undergraduates and postgraduates.

It examines how the traditional role of the State is challenged by European Union law, and the implications for traditional public services provided by the State. The book brings together the interaction of the Internal Market and the Competition rules of the European Union when they are applied to State economic activity. Individual chapters examine specific rules that address squarely the permissible role of State activity in competitive markets, for example an examination of the procurement rules, the State aid rules, the rules in Article 106 TFEU regulating State monopolies and the controversial application of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU to the State. Other chapters examine the processes of privatisation and liberalisation and the implications of regulation of liberalised markets where the State acts in a commercial capacity, with case studies on the postal sector, utilities and telecommunications. Attention is paid to the role of services of general economic interest (SGEIs) and the implications of liberalisation for social services of general interest (SSGIs).
