Die gemeinsame Handelspolitik der Europäischen Union

When the Treaty of Lisbon came into effect in 2009, the EU’s constitutional framework on trade policy was fundamentally remodelled. The profound effects of these changes can now be observed in both legal practice and in the composition of the EU’s policy on trade, which are also the focus of legal action in the German Federal Constitutional Court. This anthology is devoted to these developments. The essays it contains focus on constitutional considerations related to the federal and cooperative implementation of the EU’s common trade policy by its member states as well as on the ongoing debate in the fields of law and political science about the problem of who is democratically entitled to trade within the EU according to the rule of law.
