Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Course content
New course code starting from the springsemester 2012 - please see the website for JUS5440 – EU Substantive Law (the course now gives 10 credits).
This course will cover, inter alia, the establishment of the Single European Market, the Common Customs Tariff (CCT), and the abolition of customs duties and quantitative measures and the Community's external commercial policy. Attention will be given to the interaction between intellectual property rights and the free movements of goods. In the context of free movement of persons, particular attention will be given to the principle of non-discrimination on the basis of nationality.
The focus is on case analysis: to understand and apply substantive principles of EC law as developed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
