The critical issues highlighted and the low

[rosebaby3892]

With an almost circular movement, in chapter seven the author brings the analysis back to the general framework of European law, considering the influence of – and the limits imposed by – the rules on the free movement of services and on competition on the processes and contents of European standardisation.

Finally, the final chapter deals with the examination of the "paradoxes" created by the mechanism of convergence of national rights through technical harmonization. incidence of standards in the services market are largely attributed by the buy phone number list author, on the one hand, to the poor institutional support and insufficient legal basis for the standardization of services, and on the other, to the deficiencies of the standardization system in assessing the real representativeness - and, therefore, the probable success - of European standard projects.

The volume has the merit of offering a transversal - but not superficial - look at the points of contact between standardization of services and private law, without omitting to underline the critical issues and future developments, even if only hypothetical. In this sense, it organically develops some of the aspects often omitted - or treated only incidentally - by the literature of the sector. Without detracting from the overall value of the work, one regret remains: in conjunction with the publication of the volume, the Court of Justice of the European Union further characterized the relationship between European standards and national law in the James Elliott case , and also expressed its opinion on the PIP scandal in the Schmitt decision . Even if the integration of these decisions would have helped to make some parts of the analysis less abstract, the volume undoubtedly remains an excellent fresco of the dawn of the standardization of services in Europe, and of how it has, in perspective, the potential to influence the practical application of the law and its harmonization at European level.
