Reviews

I recommend the book to academics in the fields of law and social sciences as well as to practitioners with an interest in EU's handling of new technologies and in EU policy design in general. Specifically, the book presents an abundant source of case material highlighting the desirability of a single legal framework for EU administrative procedure. -- Professor Stephan Meyer * European Journal of Risk Regulation *
