AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The module wishes to deepen the knowledge already acquired by students during the basic course on EU law, in-depth knowledge on the elaboration and implementation, at the national and local level, of the policies of the EU in social, economic and environment matters.

In this sense, the aim is to offer students necessary tools to fully understand (i) competences of the Union, in particular in light of the competences that still rest with Member States under the principle of subsidiarity; (ii) instruments of the Union to develop its policies, and how these instruments should be applied and interpreted; (iii) consequences on national and local decision-making processes.

Such competences will allow students a better working capcaity, such as for example in public adiminstrations, where EU statutory provisions and case law play a significant role which require specific professionals and skills to understand the "multi-level" systems that has emerged with the European policies that affect the legal systems of alla Member States.
