| 2 | Constitutional Principles of EU Market | RGMEE51006 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The aim of the course is to discuss the working of the EU's internal market from the fundamental constitutional perspective, focusing on some of its key constitutional principles and options for future development of the European Union at an advanced level. Students are encouraged to think critically and offer their own ideas. The course will serve as a basis for practice or research in this broad area of law and will offer a broader perspective than strictly legal, also inspired by the literature from social sciences and humanities. The course: - Examines key constitutional principles of the Internal Market that have shaped the European Union as developed in the Treaties, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union; - Surveys each of the European Union institutions examining their functioning and effect on the constitutional development of the Union in the context of the day-to-day co-shaping of the Internal Market together with the Member States of the Union; - Critically reviews a wide compendium of scholarly literature on the topics discussed. The grade is based 100% on a critical research paper of up to 7.000 words (with references) engaging with one of the topics relevant for the course. Students submit a written assignment for every class, which is based on the required readings. Those who fail to get a pass on three assignments are not entitled to submit the paper. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These workshops address - Punctuation - Formality - articles & concord - digital tools - the verb phrases (tenses, voice) & grammar pitfalls - sentence structure - paragraph structure The advice is binding, meaning that attendance is mandatory for the students concerned.

These tutorials deal with written work produced by the individual students (e.g. one of the already produced papers from semester 1 or a chapter of the thesis). The tutor will provide feedback on this written piece.

| 8 | European Sustainability Law | RGMEE51606 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you know what the little round green logo on your cola bottle actually means? It guarantees you, as a consumer and a human being, that you will not harm the environment when disposing of this bottle. But who is responsible for this and who should pay for it? These are all questions related to sustainability and how it is regulated. Article 3 TEU requires the European Union to work for the sustainable development of the European Union. This course will examine what this entails and how it is implemented in law by looking at the embryonic normative framework set by the objectives in Article 3 TEU in connection with the values of the EU listed in Article 2 TEU. Real-life challenges affecting the daily lives of the EU, its Member States (and you!) in three areas where sustainability issues arise: the protection of the environment, consumer protection and social inclusion and solidarity will be discussed in this course. This will provide you with a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the law-making in this area of EU regulation, as well the practical implications for the day to day legal practice in the European Union. Thus it will give you a competitive edge in the fast growing market of sustainability law. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
