It does so by focusing on the prominent example of the EU’s energy sector and its Third Energy Package. Unbundling has become an increasingly crucial competition instrument in network-bound industries worldwide. It is designed to ensure access to bottleneck infrastructures on fair and non-discriminatory terms and thus to suppress the anti-competitive potential deriving from vertical integration in natural monopoly situations. While promoting important public policy objectives, unbundling policies have also raised a number of legal issues. This book analyzes how international economic law limits the adoption and maintenance of unbundling and related measures and also outlines how international trade law can play a ‘positive’ role in this field. As a result, it provides a valuable reference for academics, practitioners and policy-makers.EYIEL Monographs - Studies in European and International Economic Law,2524-6658 ;5International lawTradeEnergy policyEnergy and stateLaw—EuropeInternational economicsBusinessCommerceInternational Economic Law, Trade Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050Energy Policy, Economics and Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000European Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20000International Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000Tradehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527010International law.Trade.Energy policy.Energy and state.Law—Europe.International economics.Business.Commerce.International Economic Law, Trade Law.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.European Law.International Economics.Trade.333.79 Dralle Tilman Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut923353BOOK9910300052703321Ownership Unbundling and Related Measures in the EU Energy Sector2072135UNINA
