Learning unit contents
This course addresses the entire range of EU competition law issues: anticompetitive agreements (Article 101 TFEU), abuse of dominance (Article 102 TFEU), merger control, exclusive/special rights and public undertakings, State aid, oligopolies, procedural and institutional issues. The issues examined in class are not only dealt with from a mere EU law standpoint, but are also analysed through the lenses of economic analysis, comparative law and practical insights. A complete set of written notes as well as a documentation folder are provided to the student
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course is designed to awaken students to the challenges of a key area of European policy and business law, competition law and provide the expertise to detect, in the professional life, potential problems related to this particular subject matter. At the end of the course, students are able to solve complex and facts-based case studies and to propose a solution that is both pragmatic and realistic. Students also gain a critical view of legislative and doctrinal sources.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
No pre-requisite
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is based on a traditional method of ex cathedra teaching. The professor, however, ensures active participation of students during the oral course. The professor also recommends several readings to facilitate understanding and to deepen a particular point. Also, rehearsals sessions are organized so that students become familiar with the format of the examination (case studies).
