Cases are cited as follows: Case C-412/93 Leclerc-Siplec [1995] E.C.R. I-179 Case T-504/93 Tiercé Ladbroke v. Commission [1997] E.C.R. II-923 Unreported cases should be cited using the date of judgment.

* Submission

Contributions should be sent to ELSA International, 239 Bvd. General Jacques, 1050 Brussels, Belgium. E-mail: elsa@brutele.be Contributions must be in English. Contributions by student-authors will be more seriously considered for publication if an obtained grade or academic recommendation is submitted together with the article. Contributions already published or being submitted for publication elsewhere will not be considered for publication in SPEL. The author's name, qualification, position, institution, address and e-mail address should be included together with a brief personal introduction.

File Formats

Contributions will be accepted in data format only. Articles can be sent to ELSA International in any version of Word, RTF or simple text as e-mail attachments or on 3 1/2'' floppy disks. No liability is accepted for loss or damage of materials submitted.

Acknowledgments

The editor will acknowledge submissions as quickly as possible. Wherever possible contributors should supply an e-mail address which will facilitate communication. As far as possible a definite decision on publication will be given within six weeks of submission. Articles accepted for publication will be published in the next issue of the journal. A submission which is provisionally accepted subject to suggested amendments will be published where such amendments have been made to the satisfaction of the editor.

Copyright

Copyright in all contributions accepted for publication remains with the authors, and ELSA International acquires publication rights. Authors are free to re-use their own material but if all or any part of published material is reproduced elsewhere, the author should acknowledge Selected Papers on European Law as the original place of publication.
