Remedies in Public Competition Law is an exhaustively researched and compelling book. A well-known authority on EU State aid examines the system of remedies available in cases of infringement of State aid rules and proposes a specific approach to reform.

• Harmonisation of national laws governing the private enforcement of State aid rules
• Convergence of State aid law and foreign subsidies law to create a comprehensive system of remedies for public competition law as a whole
