JUS5440 - EU Substantive Law
Course content
This course will cover the rules found in the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) that are the legal basis for establishing and regulating the EU’s Internal Market. In particular, the course will cover the following matters: the abolition of customs duties and the adoption of the Common Customs Tariff (CCT); the abolition of quantitative measures that obstruct trade between Member States; and the EU's external commercial policy.
Attention will be given to the interaction between intellectual property rights and the free movements of goods rules. Furthermore, the TFEU rules on the provision of services across national borders and the right of establishment of natural and legal persons will be addressed. In the context of free movement of persons, particular attention will be given to the principle of non-discrimination on the basis of nationality and to the concept of EU Citizenship.
The focus and method of delivery is on case analysis and on the application of substantive EU legal principles as developed by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
Although students will already be familiar with the institutional aspects of the legal structure of the EU, the course materials will include a list of recommended reading on this aspect as well.
