The analysis of private international law in the EU with regard to EU cross-border road transport: Competency and applicable law

This textbook aims to sketch out the main problems arising in the field of EU trans national transportation by providing adequate understanding of the legal setting in the five key EU legal areas for this sector: fundamental freedoms, private inter national law, posting of workers, social security coordination and social dialogue. Indeed, road transport is a truly living organism which makes it challenging for the laws to keep up with its ongoing dynamics.
In addition, due to its inherent transnational element, the process of application of rele vant laws is often shrouded in am biguity, making it difficult to solve the emerged conflicts of laws.

Against this background, this textbook provides an integral vision on the inter action of EU freedoms with social rights at EU level offering a com prehensive and unique indepth coverage of the most relevant topics and presenting nuanced guidance depicting problemsolving skills which was carefully selected by the leading academic experts. Overall, this po sition is addressed to not only academics but also to students, practitioners and others interested in the road transport sector.
