This book is strong in its analysis of the various conflict of laws solutions and pioneering in how it deals with the question of the extent to which rules of private international law in this field must be in compliance with European law. The consequences of the various modes in which such compliance may be achieved are carefully analysed.
This study is an important contribution to the understanding of European integration in a hitherto relatively neglected subject area and is suitable for a wide range of potential readers; both academics and practitioners in private international law and European law should find it of great interest.
