Course contents :

| This course is devoted to an in-depth study of institutional EU law, within the broader perspective of EU law. Building on basic instruction in EU law, it seeks to bring the students up to the level where they could handle institutional EU law matters in a professional or academic context. The four main topics of the course are: the 'horizontal' division of competences between the institutions of the European Community (including legislative and administrative decision-making), the 'vertical' division of competences between the European Community and the Member States (principles of legality, subsidiarity, etc., both in the internal and external context), the judicial enforcement of European Law (infringement proceedings and claims before national courts) and the position of the citizen in the European legal order (fundamental rights, review of EC/EU action). |
