JJUA04525U Advanced European Union Law
The objective of the course is to provide the participants with
an advanced knowledge of the substantive EU law on the free
movement of goods, persons, services, capital and citizenship of
the Union. Moreover, it is the intention that the participants
shall be able to apply this knowledge to specific and hypothetical
cases.
The course assumes an active participation of the
students.
The course first provides a brief introduction to the effects of EU
law upon national law. The primary topic of the course will be the
free movement of goods, persons, services, capital and citizenship
of the Union, however at a more advanced level than the course
“EU-ret” at the bachelor-education. The starting point (slette)
will be the interpretation and application of the relevant rules of
the FEU Treaty as provided in a number of important judgments. The
course will cover the following issues:
• Effects of EU law upon national law.
• Restrictions on the free movement of goods.
• The right to entry and to take residence in another Member State.
• The implications of the provisions on Union citizenship
• The free movement of workers.
• The right to establishment and free movement of services.
• The free movement of capital.
The objective of the course is to enable the students to:
- Present the provisions of the FEU Treaty on the free
movement of goods, citizenship of the Union, the free movement of
workers, the freedom of establishment, the free movement of
services and the free movement of capital.
- Explain the interpretation and application by the Court
of Justice of the provisions of the FEU Treaty on free movement and
on citizenship of the Union on the basis of the judgments included
in the curriculum of the course.
- Put the method of interpretation of the Court of Justice
and the significance of the judgments for the realisation and
further development of the internal market of the European Union
into perspective.
- Identify the margin of appreciation that the Court of
Justice has left to the Member States in situations where a Member
State wishes to set requirements for goods, persons, services,
capital and citizens of the Union.
- Identify the relevant problems of European Union law
when presented in a specific case.
- Present arguments and solutions in a systematic and
coherent manner, showing general knowledge and understanding of the
problems of European Union Law concerning free movement and Union
citizenship.
- Communicate and formulate her/his knowledge and
arguments professionally and linguistically correct and in a way
that is structured and coherent.
