Learning unit contents
This course addresses the entire range of EU competition law issues. The first part ("Partim 1") deals with anticompetitive agreements (Article 101 TFEU) and abuse of dominance (Article 102 TFEU). The second part ("partim 2") deals with merger control and procedural/institutional issues, as well as topical issues (i.e.: case law readings; exclusive/special rights and public undertakings; State aid; oligopolies, R&D agreements; ...). 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 textbook as well as a documentation folder are referenced 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.
