Each year the institutions of the European Union tender for contracts with a total value of between €18 - €20 billion.

EU tenders are subject to a special set of rules set out in the EU's Financial Regulation and a series of subsidiary rules adopted by the EU Commission. Understanding EU Commission Tenders is based on a thorough understanding of the law but is written for everyone.

Fusion Centres Throughout Europe
Vast Comité I (ed.)
This book collects contributions from European countries that have created ‘fusion centres’ or that have attributed the ‘all-source threat assessment’ assignment to an existing body. The result paints a specific and valuable picture and gives a unique insight into the way integrated analyses are produced, not in the least because all contributions were written by people from within the fusion centres; not by outsiders.

European Criminal Law
André Klip
It is one of the aims of this book to convey the understanding of European criminal
law as a field of law in which there is by definition an overlap between Union law
and national law. To this end, it combines a top-down approach (perspective of
the Union) with a bottom-up approach (perspective from the national criminal
justice system).

European Migration Law
Pieter Boeles, Maarten den Heijer, Gerrie Lodder, Kees Wouters
At present, there is no such thing as a single corpus of binding rules within the European legal order which could be said to embody European migration law. This book brings together in one context the European and international legal regimes on migration as applicable to the territories of the Member States of the European Union. Its focus is on European Community legislation under Titles III and IV of the EC Treaty; treaties concluded between the European Community and third countries; and international treaties concluded within the framework of the Council of Europe and the United Nations.

Post-Conflict Housing Restitution
Antoine Buyse
The loss of one’s house is often one of the most dramatic personal consequences of armed conflict. In fragile post-conflict societies such a loss does not only cause a flow of refugees and other displaced persons, but it can also be a source of renewed conflict. Restitution of housing could help to solve these problems and thus help to attain peace and to rebuild the rule of law. This study focuses on the legal aspects of restitution.
