Customer Reviews

Brilliant text...do you really need it?
As a degree student studying European Law, I purchased this book to provide an authoratative text on the various European Treaties that seem to be inexorably leading to the proposed European Constitution.

The book is excellent reference material, easy to read - it provides all the treaty articles as well as the most important directives. But do you actually need to buy it?

If you're a professional, then I'd assume the answer would be yes. As a student, you are only going to need a handful of articles and you might be better served going to your lectures and paying proper attention. In my experience an understanding of the principles behind the articles are of far more use than the actual text - just make sure you're comfortable applying the articles, and if you can remember their numbers you won't need this book to get a first in your exams.

If you've got the money, then buy it. Otherwise, you needn't bother!
