(in Polish) Introduction to the Law of the European Union 4003-ERASMUS-ILUE-OG
Lectures and seminars begin with a defining of the position of the EU as specific subject of international relations characterized as a supranational organization. This will be followed by a presentation of fundamental principles of EU law, including democracy, solidarity,conferred powers, subsidiarity, proportionality, institutional balance, and non-discrimination. Subsequently lectures will present the position of EU law in the domestic legal orders, in particular a principle of supremacy of European law. Then we discuss sources of law, and finally turn to protection of individual rights, including judicial protection and fundamental rights. Lectures will be based upon the jurisprudence of the ECJ.
