Law And Policy Of The European Gas Market

Law and Policy of the European Gas Market explores the law and politics of the EU gas market and in particular, the regulatory and competitive choices of institutions and bodies operating on the market, with a view to achieving a higher level of market integration.

The book firstly addresses the latest stage in the EU gas market regulatory reform, while interpreting the preliminary effects of this reform. Secondly, it provides an analysis of the topic due to the fact that it draws both on legislative and political science approaches. Monica Waloszyk concentrates on the latest legal developments on the EU gas market, while taking into consideration the geopolitical environment surrounding and fuelling such developments.
