"Review from previous edition A detailed index ensures easy access to the relevant parts of the book. A table of court cases and a detailed table of legislation, both with references to the respective paragraphs in the book, further enhance the user-friendliness. This book is a welcome contribution to a pan-European dialogue which aims at bringing together different legal traditions. The particular value of this book is that, when one wishes to look beyond the "national" interpretation and take the "European" approach which is required for the construction of the MAR, this book clearly deserves reading." - Markus Heidinger, Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation

"the authors have delivered a timely and convenient guide on an important piece of legislation within the context of the Capital Markets Union." - Ebbe Rogge, Common Market Law Review
