OAFP 6035 - EU Substantive Law

This elective course aims to give students an insight into the core of the ‘substantive law' of the EU, by focusing on the fundamental principles on which the Union's internal market is based. It covers in detail the main freedoms of movement, namely the free movement of goods, the free movement of natural persons and the freedom of establishment and to provide services. Certain sectoral policies conducted within the framework of the EU are also dealt with. At the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the internal market law; to identify, read and critically evaluate the key judgments of the CJEU; to solve a legal problem by applying the relevant legal rules in a given factual situation.

Students will be graded on the basis of team work (oral presentations) and individual work (a written exercise consisting of a case-study). The presentations will account for 30% of the final grade, while the case-study will account for 70% of the final grade. Further information on the assignments will be provided during the first session.

Most sessions will be divided into two parts. The first part will consist of a lecture presenting a weekly topic. The second part will be dedicated to an oral presentation by a group of students, followed by a discussion. PPT presentations will be made available after the respective classes have taken place.
