European Union law today represents more than 60 per cent of the national legal systems of the 25 member states. The course enables the student to understanding the legislative process in the Union and the conflict-ridden ways Union law becomes part of the national systems. The course covers the "four fundamental freedoms" that enable Europeans and foreigners to do business and get employed in Europe. Case studies of telecommunications and anti-discrimination law will be used to put European legal development into context. Basics of EU competition law are also presented. Fundamentals of the EU legal system is offered to enable those who never took EU law to follow the course.
