EU Market Law 2600-IBP-EUML
The lecture provides knowledge on the main elements of the substantive economic law of the European Union creating the legal basis for the European economic integration (Internal Market Law). Thus, we will discuss the following issues:
1. The introductory remarks on the EU’s legal system, e.g.: what are the EU’s institutions? What are the legal acts in EU law?
2. The freedoms of movement in the EU:
- free movement of goods
- free movement of people
- free movement of services
- freedom of establishment
- free movement of capital
3. The examples of the areas in which the EU harmonized certain policies: e-commerce and copyright law.
The course will provide an opportunity to learn about the way in which the EU works. We will study the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the EU’s legal acts. These materials will allow us to better understand the foundations on which the modern economy and politics are built, and, therefore, the economic and political reality we live in.
