Main themes
This course covers the core of substantive EU law, namely internal market law. More precisely, it deals with the four freedoms: free movement of goods, freedom of establishment, freedom to provide services and free movement of capital. It also covers citizenship and offers a brief introduction to EU competition law.
This course complements the basic course on EU law [LDROI1226], which focuses on EU institutions and deals with how legislation is produced as well as enforcement mechanisms of EU law. This course focuses on the content of (some) EU rules. It is complementary with other courses that cover other aspects of EU substantive law such as free movement of (natural) persons [LDREU2205], EU competition law [LDREU2208] or Firms and antitrust [LDFIRM2207], EU consumer law [LDREU2207] or EU labour law [LDROP2143].

Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | Learning outcomes specific to EU lawAfter taking this course, you will have a basic command of internal market law and possess the know-how to apply the relevant legal rules in simple factual situations. You will be familiar with how various sources of European law interact, in particular treaty and directives. Generic learning outcomesThis course also aims to provide opportunities to acquire horizontal skills that are useful beyond the practice of European law, in particular: 1) being able to identify legal rules applicable to a given factual situation and relevant in order to reach a practical aim; 2) being able to present in writing the legal analysis of a given factual situation clearly and correctly. At the end of the course, you will be able to identify whether or not European law governs a given factual situation. You will be capable of solving simple problems involving one or several of the four freedoms and develop on your own a legal reasoning following the most common patterns which will have been studied during the course. |
