European State Aid Law and Policy, 2nd Edition

Cette fois, Conor Quigley réussit ce que d'autres n'ont pu accomplir : être le premier à sortir une seconde édition mise à jour au 15 avril 2009, incluant toute l'évolution du Plan d'action sur les aides d'Etat, qui s'achève cette année après quatre années de nouveautés en tous genres et, surtout, analysant, déjà, les éléments incontournables de la crise financière du point de vue des aides d'Etat, en seize pages très bien agencées et d'une densité qui n'a d'égale que celle de la crise que nous connaissons...A consulter tout de suite, sur son bureau!
Jacques Derenne


As with the first edition, this book is set to become one of the main sources of reference for practitioners and scholars as well as government and Commission officials...The ramifications of the State aid prohibition on tax laws are rarely addressed in mainstream State aid textbooks. Conor Quigley's book is a notable exception...Both the legislation and the case law are set out in a concise, readable and practical manner. A unique feature of this book is that it caters for all levels of expertise and addresses issues which are of concern to a wide range of lawyers. The book is authoritative and multi-layered, offering an analysis of the most pressing issues. The author's longstanding professional experience is evident throughout and he has certainly lived up to the very high expectations generated after publication of the book's first edition.

The book has been substantially reorganised and greatly expanded. It is clearly written and competitively priced...The extensive use of sub-headings is a particular bonus, making it easier for the reader to identify and distinguish between related issues. This is further facilitated by the clarity and flowing style of the text...a very useful and authoritative addition to the literature. It is also remarkable in that it is one of the few (if not only?) single authored English texts, in
this complex field, for about a decade.

Conor Quigleys' second edition of European State Aid Law and Policy is a timely publication. It provides the reader with a concise and complete overview of all areas of state aid law
This book is a useful tool for those who are faced with state aid issues for the first time since it provides a very useful summary of the principles of state aid law and policy as well as a well-structured presentation of the different substantive areas of state aid. As it contains a comprehensive collection of Commission decisions, judgements of the European Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice, as well as a summary of national court procedures, Quigley is of great help also for those lawyers who are experts in this field and need easy references to the relevant cases.
His book is a hands-on tool with a lot of substance, not a mere academic publication that would miss the needs of the practicing lawyer.
Readers will find a superb collection of cases…which allow them not only to gain clear guidance on all the issues, but also to carry out in-depth research alone when needed. In this respect, Quigley's European State Aid Law and Policy is an invaluable tool.
Any lawyer looking for a thoroughly researched, concise and comprehensive treatise on state aid law is well advised to read Quigley. This book is a 'must have' for state aid experts as well as those new to this area of law.
