<i>Acclaim for the First Edition:</i>

<i>‘This is an excellent contribution on an important area of EU law that comes at a particularly opportune time. It provides a clear, comprehensive and well-researched analysis of EU trade policy including the EU’s relations with the WTO. It combines theoretical analysis with a clear exposition of the law and will be of great use both to EU and trade lawyers.’</i>

- Takis Tridimas, King's College London, UK,

In this highly topical second edition of EU Trade Law, Rafael Leal-Arcas presents a thorough analysis of EU law and policy in the field of international trade with an updated focus on sustainability. This updated edition provides a clear overview of the substantive and procedural aspects of EU trade law and policy, balancing problems and solutions using timely case studies.



Accessible and thought-provoking, chapters offer a legal analysis of EU trade policy after the conclusion of the WTO Agreement and the Treaties of Rome, Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon. Additional thought is given to the role of EU Member States and major EU institutions in international trade negotiations. This thoroughly revised second edition now includes a detailed examination of climate change from the point of view of international trade, arguing in support of EU trade deals in clean energy with Gulf Cooperation Council countries such as Saudi Arabia.



This insightful book is a crucial resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers working on European and international trade law and policy, as well as international investment law, climate change, energy economics, and environmental law, governance and regulation.
