Synopsis

This book explores the tools that the European rules on State aid place in the hands of competitors when it comes to fighting subsidies and other state measures of financial assistance to firms. In order to do so, the book scrutinises the means of redress available to competitors before national courts (private enforcement), as well as the opportunities that they have to make their voice heard in the course of the European Commission's enforcement procedures (public enforcement). The insights provided by the book lead to a better understanding of the rights of private parties under the rules and practices that govern the enforcement of State aid law.

About this title

Review:

[This book] is engaging and thoroughly enjoyable. This is because Pastor-Merchante has an uncommon gift for conciseness: he is able to capture the essence of complex case law without sacrificing the depth of analysis. What is also admirable is the level of sophistication and nuance of his assessment... this is an important study in EU administrative law which makes a fundamental contribution to the debate on State aid law. -- Francesco de Cecco * Common Market Law Review *
