EC tax practitioners often find it difficult to locate specific references to
precise subjects in the case law. Applying the approach he successfully
employed in Kluwer's Directory on EC Case Law on Competition and
Directory on EC Case Law on State Aids, Renand#233; Barents overcomes that
difficulty by presenting a collection of case law extracts sorted by key
subject areas under the following major topics:

• 
  Fiscal Sovereignty and Community Law;
  


• 
  Direct Taxation and Free Movement;
  


• 
  Restrictions on Free Movement by Tax Measures;
  


• 
  Restrictions Resulting from Disparities between National Tax Systems;
  


• 
  Comparable and Incomparable Tax Situations;
  


• 
  Justifications of Restrictions on Free Movement by Direct Taxation;
  


• 
  Free Movement and Direct Taxation of Natural Persons; and
  


• 
  Free Movement and Direct Taxation of Companies and Shareholders.
  

Given this directory's streamlined accessibility to the relevant case law, EC
tax specialists will refer to it often and quickly classify it as an
indispensable resource.
