867 PREFACE TO THE SERIES The idea behind the Max Planck Commentaries on World Trade Law is to explain the whole range of WTO law in authoritative and practical article-by-article type commentaries. The purpose is to give the reader a comprehensive and concise insight into the meaning of each rule by combining information on its legislative history, its economic and political rationale, its interpretation, existing case law and proposals for reform. Issues which are not explicitly mentioned in the rules but which are relevant for their application, like e.g. the question of direct applicability, are also addressed. As far as possible, reference is also made to similar rules of universal and regional economic regimes. The format of a commentary dates back to the classical period of Roman legal science. Such commentaries were meant to collect together the relevant legal material and to provide assistance for its understanding by referring to relevant case law and by offering interpretations. Such format is well established in the German legal tradition but seems to be less so in the US legal tradition where the closest correlation may be the Restatements.
