It is surprising that, as the services sector plays a major role in Europe's economy, legal scholarship in this area is so sparse. This in-depth examination of tensions emerging between the goals of the European market and general interest objectives at the level of the Member States fills an important need for lawyers, policymakers, officials, and academics striving to clarify and formulate effective principles and rules in this important area of the European and global economies.
