This course covers several aspects of EU economic law.
The course consists, on the one hand, of interactive guest lectures on the EU Internal Market, and on the other hand, of a series of interactive guest lectures dealing with several current European economic law issues.
During the academic year 2021-2022, several lectures were given by Prof. L. Prete on 'The EU Internal Market' and by Prof. P. Blizkovsky on 'The new economic governance of the EU and the European Banking Union'. Prof. J. Faull talked about 'The implications of Brexit for the EU internal market', A. Pahladsingh about 'The internal market and migration in the EU', and, finally, Prof. S. van der Jeught gave a lecture on 'Linguistic diversity and the EU internal market'.

The students also gather knowledge through self-study.
Recording (audio-visual) of the lectures is not allowed.

The students must be able to explain the components of the Internal Market of the European Union and why it is the "nucleus" of the European construction. They are also expected to reflect in a critical manner on the other aspects of EU economic law, covered by the guest speakers.
