Highlighting Key Legislation. This concise collection of the essential primary and secondary law of the European Union quickly and effectively guides students to the material they need during exams and lectures.

Part I contains the European Union's primary law in consolidated form. Part II offers a selection of the essential pieces of European Union legislation in five core areas of particular importance to undergraduate and graduate studies: institutions, the internal market, competition, social policy and consumer protection. Colour-coded for easy navigation, all legislative acts are presented in their 'Lisbonised' and consolidated form.

Student support is provided in two forewords that guide readers through the steps of finding, reading and understanding EU law, and a sophisticated table of equivalences that illustrates the evolution of the treaties from the Rome Treaty to the present day. An appendix includes extracts of the two central UK Acts that pertain to the European Union.
