'This book, so fully documenting the profusion of EU administrative agencies, their importance, and the variety of their practices and authorities, makes clear the need for uniform procedural provisions, such as have been drafted by the impressive Research Network on EU Administrative Law (ReNEUAL).'--Peter L.
