Directives are one of the most popular forms of EC secondary legislation, occupying the frontier between community and national law. This book gives a detailed account of the particular legal problems to which directives give rise. It sets out: the conditions for their validity; the rights and obligations which they create; the remedies to which they give risk; and the ways in which they may be interpreted.
