Description
(Short description)
The Codices EU Energy Law and EU Climate Law bring together the most essential, presently applicable legislation, as adopted in the framework of the EU Institutions.
Codex EU Energy Law
The liberalisation of the European gas and electricity markets, the awareness to increase the security of energy supply, the necessity to be more energy efficient, and the protection of the environment have triggered the European energy legislation to flourish in recent years.
Therefore, an impressive amount of new regulations, directives and decisions on gas, electricity, renewables, biofuels, regulators, appliances, buildings, etc., has been initiated with which Member States are now confronted.
The Codex EU Energy Law contains the most relevant directives, regulations and decisions on, e.g.: Electricity Gas and Oil Renewables Nuclear Energy Energy Taxation Public Procurement
For all practitioners involved in this broad field of legislation, the Codices EU Energy Law and EU Climate Law each aim to be an up-to-date efficient working tool, facilitating research, use and application of EU Law related to energy and climate.
(Text)
This Codex EU Energy Law brings together the most important, presently applicable, legislation on energy, as adopted by the EU. The legislation has been booming in recent years, after decades of very limited European activity in the field, with the exception of coal and nuclear. Several drivers explain this increase: the liberalisation of the European gas and electricity markets, the awareness to improve the security of energy supply, the necessity to be more energy-efficient, and the protection of the environment. All this has been translated in several, recent (i.e. 2009/ 2010) legislative energy packages: the liberalisation package, the climate and energy package, and the energy efficiency package. As a consequence, a serious amount of new regulations, directives and decisions on gas, electricity, renewables, biofuels, regulators, appliances, buildings, etc. must be implemented and/or applied by the Member States. Practitioners and academics will find this codex to be a good working tool.
