Trade Regulations between the EU and ASEAN

As representative of the actual concerns regarding trade between the EU and ASEAN, three main research fields have been commonly chosen and treated by European and Thai experts: Investment Law, Competition Law and Environmental Law. The retained subjects - EU investment in Thailand, international cooperation in antitrust enforcement and the legal framework for waste management - show well the wide range of common interests between these two parts of the world.
The papers include detailed description and analysis of the Thai and European regulatory frameworks, provide the reader with necessary background information and updated data and contain recommendations in order to share the most positive experiences and to find solutions to the remaining common challenges in the different areas.
This work assembles contributions presented by leading Asian and European academics at the International Workshop organised in 1999 in Bangkok by the "European Studies Programme (ESP)" established in Thailand with the support of the European Commission. This volume shall provide new insight into legal aspects relevant for scholars specialising both on EU-ASEAN relations and on developments within Europe and Asia.
