LAW 893: European Union Competition Law Short Course
The objective of this short course is to provide an introduction to EU Competition Law. The course will primarily cover the substantive competition law rules of the EC treaty, namely Art. 81 EC (Cartels) and Art. 82 EC (abuse of a dominant position). A special focus will be the question how EU Competition Law affects the commercial activities of non EU-entities within and outside the European Union. The course will commence with a general introduction to EU law, specifically, the constitutional order of the Union (i.e., institutions, divisions of competence, legislation etc) as well as the substantive law of the Common European Market. The substantive law of the European Union covers issues such as the four market freedoms of the European Community (Free Movement of Goods, Free Movement of Workers, Freedom of Establishment and Freedom to Provide Services) [1]
