EU Energy Law and Policy Issues

This fourth volume of the ELRF book "EU Energy Law and Policy Issues", as with the previous versions of the book, presents an overview of some of the most recent developments taking place in the EU energy law and policy sector. In this respect, the reader will find a number of contributions which offer detailed and critical views on some of the main issues in this area. Over the years, the Energy Law Research Forum or the ELRF, has confirmed it has a role to play in the energy law and policy debate. Today, the ELRF includes most of the younger generation of EU energy specialists with an academic interest and the book has become a reference point for research and literature as well as the Court of Justice of the European Union. Over the years, the Court has processed several energy related cases and has referenced the book several times. This edition covers topical issues ranging from exemptions and derogations in EU energy acquis, pricing, access, investments, nuclear energy, external energy relations as well as the role of regulatory authorities in the EU and beyond. It will surely prove to be an essential piece of reading for lawyers, legal advisers, academics or students engaged in the field of energy law.
