Description
National rules on immigration and asylum have been transformed in recent years. EU Directives and Regulations, including the relevant case law of the European Court of Justice, become ever more important - both for those working in ministries, immigration authorities, national courts, academia, non-governmental organisations and as practicing lawyers. They may benefit from the fundamentally revised and amended second edition, which focuses on core legislation, incl. the
Asylum Qualification Directive
Asylum Procedure and Reception Directives
Dublin III Regulation
Border Code, Visa and Frontex Regulations
Family Reunion Directive
Blue Card Directive
Long Term Residents' Directive

Praises for the 1st edition:
'... the book reviewed proves to be a real encyclopaedia on EU migration law, whose primary aim according to the preface is describing the content of existing European legislation, identifying potential interpretation issues, and providing arguments, for applying such rules. ... Compared with other publications on European migration law, this publication is to be considered as an important book of reference, not only for researchers, but also for lawyers, NGOs, and officers working in this field.'
