[2016] UKSC 26 - developing the law of personal privacy
After a variety of stumbling blocks and false starts, the Treaty of
Lisbon is now in force, despite the widespread instability let
loose in the last two years as protectionism reared its terrified
head in many EU Member States and nationalisation and massive state
support for the national banking sector became panaceas for the
global financial drama. Nonetheless, forces are still at large that
seem to threaten the basic freedoms of the Union and to undermine
the future of the common market. Given these circumstances, in June
2009 the Institute of European Public Law of the University of Hull
assembled a range of experts in relevant fields to offer papers and
reach some consensus on what has been achieved in the EU legal
order and what the future holds for that order given local tensions
and global uncertainty. This remarkable volume reprints those
papers. Sixteen well-known scholars in European law and politics
present insightful (and sometimes provocative) studies in such
areas as the following: * the future of European Public Law and its
limits; * the future of the European order; * the EU and global
administrative law; * European law between constitutionalism and
governance; * legal control of regulatory bodies; * reforms in
financial and banking regulation; * competition and public
services; * regulating media markets; * the EU human rights regime;
* citizenship and European democracy; * asylum policy; * EU
transparency and access to documents; * accountability in a
separation of powers context; * the role of European judges; *
constitutional pluralism in the EU. An authoritative appraisal of
challenges facing the process of 'Europeanization' at a time of
considerable uncertainty for the European Union and its legal
order, this volume examines the present state of development of
different areas of European law and reflects on the future for
these areas in the light of the impasse on constitutional and legal
reform and their eventual resolution. As such it will prove to be
highly relevant to current and future debates in this area and
should be of considerable interest to scholars in European law,
politics and allied fields.
