24 Liverpool L. Rev. 1 (2002)

The aim is to expose the reader to the variety of subjects which come within the remit of EU law. It was consciously decided at the outset not to prescribe to a particular theme within EU law, because to have done so would have resulted in the loss of diversity which has been achieved in this compilation of articles. The opening article has been written by Susan Nott, who explores the complex issue of private international law, or as it is more commonly referred to in the UK, the conflict of laws. It is not surprising, given the EU's central policy of creating a single internal market, that inter- Community conflict of law issues would arise. Susan explains how the EU has intervened to address the problem, and evaluates the considerable, and sometimes uneasy, impact which this intervention has had within the UK. The second article, by Jonathan Steele, is a development of his LLM thesis which he recently completed at the University of Huddersfield. Jonathan is employed within the European Parliament, but the views expressed in his article are purely his own and are not attributable to the Parliament or any other Community institution.

Jonathan discusses how this legislation has been applied in Sweden, with its long tradition of allowing the public access to documents; the tension between Sweden's Personal Data Act 1998 (which implemented EU Directive 95/46) and the Freedom of the Press Act (which dates back to 1766) is lucidly explored by Jonathan. Next in line comes an article by Juliet Lodge, which focuses on two areas which are central to the EU's policy of freedom, security and justice: terrorism and immigration. These two areas have, in recent times, occupied the minds of political leaders at the national, European and international level, and the article should therefore prove interesting to both EU- and non-EU lawyers. Following an outline of the background to EU involve- ment in judicial cooperation, Juliet explores how the EU has sought to use d Liverpool Law Review 24: 1-2, 2002.
