The European Union and Member State Territories: A New Legal Framework Under the EU Treaties

The book examines the EU Treaties' provisions that govern the relationships between the EU and various Member State territories, including the Netherlands Antilles and the French Overseas Departments. It provides an overview of these territories' constitutional and legal ties with the EU, tracing the evolution of Article 299 from 1957 to the Lisbon Treaty. Highlighting inconsistencies in the current framework, it proposes a new, adaptable model for future developments, making it a valuable resource for EU law departments, think tanks, and legal professionals.
