Description
The relationship between law and information technology is a highly dynamic
one.
In the past decade, the European Union has developed an extensive legal
framework for new technological developments, with legislation being adopted
in the areas of personal data protection, public sector information,
conditional access and regulatory transparency.
Furthermore, legislative measures have been dedicated to electronic commerce,
distance selling, electronic signatures and electronic financial services.
Concise European IT Law aims to offer the reader a rapid understanding
of all the provisions of IT law in force in Europe enacted by European and
other international institutions. Key features include:
An article-by-article commentary on the relevant regulations and other legal
instruments
Texts on Data Protection and the multiple texts which will regulate the
electronic transactions and operators
It is intended to provide the reader with a short and straightforward
explanation of the principles of law to be drawn from each article, rule or
other provision
Editors and authors are all prominent academics and/or practitioners; experts
in their respective fields
Concise European IT Law is part of 'Concise IP', a series of five
volumes of commentary on European intellectual property legislation edited by
Thomas Dreier, Charles Gielen and Richard Hacon. The formula of this series is
based on the successful German and Dutch formula 'KurzKommentar' and 'Tekst en
Commentaar'. The five volumes cover: Patents and related matters, Trademarks
and designs, Copyright and neighbouring rights, IT and a general volume
including jurisdictional issues.
