European Distribution Law

Das Handbuch deckt das gesamte Europäische Vertriebsrecht ab, also das EU-Primär- und Sekundärrecht in seiner Auslegung durch den Gerichtshof der Europäischen Union und die obersten nationalen Gerichte. Nationales Recht wird nur insoweit behandelt als es von herausragender Bedeutung für die Vertriebspraxis innerhalb der EU ist.

This handbook covers the European law of distribution, i.e. the law resulting from European primary and secondary legislation in the interpretation of the European courts and the supreme courts of the European Member states, and common principles of European or international distribution law. The national laws of distribution are covered in so far they illustrate the implementation of European law, or when they are of outstanding importance for the distribution practice within the European Community. The focus is on the supranational EU law relevant for distribution and services, constituting the acquis communitaire in the Member states.
