Every book has its time, Professor Michael Droege emphasizes in his review. According to him, the commentary edited by Helmut Siekmann has come at exactly the right time .
The author highlights the innovative concept of the book as it analyzes the regulations of the European monetary union, that is the Lisbon Treaty, linking it with the rules of the European central bank (ECB) and the European System of Central Banks (ESCB).
This commentary is indespensable in any office of the ministries of finance across the eurozone as well as in the offices of the members of Germany's Constitutional Court, the author concludes.
