Discontinued Web-Companions
Dear Readers of “Essential EU Law in Charts” and of “Essential EU Law in Text, 2nd to 5th edition (2010 – 2020)“.
Following the publishing of the 6th editions of both books (“Essential EU Law in Charts, 6th edition, 2026” and of “Essential EU Law in Text, 6th edition, 2026“) in August 2026, the Web-Companions to both books’ earlier editions are discontinued. For the Reader’s own learned use, the respective earlier Web-Companions may still be found at the following sites:
Note on the Reprint:
The second (“Lisbon”) edition of this book came out in February 2010 to provide readers at an early stage with a version of the Charts that would incorporate the changes brought about by the Lisbon revision. At that time, a number of issues were still in flux. For example, the second Barroso Commission had not yet taken office, and the block exemption regime in competition law was under revision (it still is). We have therefore incorporated a few particularly important updates in this reprint, namely in Charts 2/17, 2/25, 3/7, 3/8, 9/16, 9/17 and 10/3 (and accordingly in the tables). Following the publication of this reprint, there will be a specific companion website to this version of the book, indicating, among others, the content of these updates in more detail.
We would also alert readers to the fact that, since the publication of the second edition of the present book as well as of its companion text (“Essential EU Law in Text”), suggested solutions to the exercises printed in the companion text have been posted on the companion website to the text, http://exercises.eur-charts.eu.
