This book reviews the evolution of labour law within the EU, analyses the distinct regional approaches to employment and welfare, and looks at the pressures for change within a further enlarged EU. The authors then provide an outline of employment law in each of the 27 member states, and in Turkey and Croatia (both aspirant member states). It is intended for HR persons, lawyers looking for basic knowledge, policymakers & lawmakers elsewhere in EU, and EU bodies.

This book is a useful introduction to European direct taxation for both students and practitioners. It should also be of help to experts in European law who have so far considered tax law (and in particular direct taxation) as too technical a domain, as well as to tax law experts who have so far been unfamiliar with the problems of compatibility with European law. It does not focus on a specific national tax system, so it is relevant for students and practitioners throughout Europe (and outside Europe as well). This second edition updates and upgrades the first one, trying to enhance its use by adding flow charts and a table of cases, while keeping its original structure.
