The main rules governing the law on competition  are also covered. The main emphasis is on analysing primary law on goods and services. The course aims to give students a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms governing the European Union's substantive law, and a practical insight as well.
Competition law (including State aid rules) is also covered in general terms.
