Handbook on EU secondary legislation : navigation through delegated and implementing acts

Handbook on EU secondary legislation

98 % of EU rules are decided via Comitology and delegated acts, rather than via legislation. This shows the importance of these decision-making processes. The procedures are complex with many exceptions and derogations. Academic books have been published on the subject : they explain the « what » comitology and delegated acts are, but are silent on « how to » effectively operate in these processes.

What European affairs practitioners need is a manual explaining each step of the different processes with diagrams, concrete cases, practical explanations. This is exactly what the Handbook on secondary legislation is all about : a book designed by practitioners for practitioners.

An indispensable tool to navigate efficiently through the labyrinth of decision-making procedures.
