The main subjects of this book are EU anti-dumping and anti-subsidy (countervailing) measures. These are the most important and frequently used weapons in the EU's trade defence armoury, and are the subject of numerous Commission decisions and of judgments of the General Court and Court of Justice. Furthermore, the 'basic regulations' on which they are founded are amended not infrequently. To meet these developments the book is issued three times a year in fully updated form. Along with anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures the book also examines less commonly used trade-defence procedures such as safeguard measures, the Trade Barriers regulation, and injurious pricing of vessels. The relevant jurisdiction and procedures of the European Courts are fully explained. There are hyper-links from the case citations to the online case reports and numerous internal links for cross-references.
The main concern of the publication is EU law, but reference is made to corresponding rules of WTO law as interpreted by panels and the Appellate Body. As established by the Court of Justice, these rules can have direct implications for the interpretation of EU law.
In addition to the analysis of the rules there are many pages of supporting material and important texts. These include consolidated versions of the basic EU legislative measures, as well as EU Commission advisory notices. Access to the relevant EU online databases is explained, and there are hyperlinks from the citations of judgments to the online case reports. The texts are accompanied by tables of cases and decisions.

The Ebook format provides greatly increased usability along with a lower price. We use PDF files, accessible through the free Adobe Reader program, and readable on tablets and smart phones. This provides unrivalled search options, as well as enabling us to use linked cross references to bookmarked section headings. All the many references to European court cases are directly linked to the case reports in the Courts' website.
The publication is supported by online information. All European Court citations are linked to their online reports, and the table of cases, also containing these links, shows the individual Commission decisions from which they have arisen. We also provide a list of all documents cited with links to their online sources.
