This goal is difficult to achieve without also issues of national social policy, closely related to the welfare state, being affected. This has led to the EU Services Directive exhibiting distinctive features and functions, introducing unique implementation and evaluation procedures and mechanisms to be used by, and within, the Member States. Thus, the Services Directive?s characteristics have raised numerous legal questions essential for its full understanding and implementation. It has become a ?moving target? for the national administrations. The understanding and implementation of the Services Directive raises several central questions, such as: is it to be interpreted as law or simply policy, and, in light of this, what are its actual effects on the regulatory autonomy of the Member States? In general, does the Services Directive represent a new and innovative instrument which facilitates prosperous integration within the EU or, has the EU legislator gone beyond its regulatory competence? This book provides an in-depth analysis of the EU Services Directive, its scope and its application, and clarifies the problems in interpreting the Services Directive and its effects on the national regulatory autonomy of the Member States. It is a valuable source of information for government officials, practitioners and researchers involved in matters of European Law and especially the EU Services Directive.   Maria Wiberg is a Doctor of European Law and Deputy Director at the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Department for the EU Internal Market and the Promotion of Sweden and Swedish Trade, Stockholm, Sweden. 410 0$aLegal Issues of Services of General Interest 606 $aLaw?Europe 606 $aEuropean Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20000 615 0$aLaw?Europe. 615 14$aEuropean Law. 676 $a338.4094 700 $aWiberg$b Maria$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01224893 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484653503321 996 $aThe EU Services Directive: Law or Simply Policy$92844097 997 $aUNINA
