Università Roma Tre

THE COURSE FOCUSES ON THE WAYS IN WHICH THE EUROPEAN COURTS DEFINE AND DELIMITATE THE SPHERES OF THE MARKET AND STATE AND HOW THEY INTERPRET THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE TWO CATEGORIES. IN PARTICULAR, THE COURSE DEALS WITH THE RULES WHICH CONSTITUTE THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC ‘CONSTITUTION’ (FREE MOVEMENT, COMPETITION, PUBLIC PROCUREMENT) AND THE DEROGATION TO THEIR APPLICATION (SERVICES OF GENERAL ECONOMIC INTEREST, PUBLIC INTEREST JUSTIFICATIONS, ETC.). SPECIFIC INTEREST IS THEN PAID ON HOW THE INTERPRETATION AND THE APPLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC ‘CONSTITUTION’ HAVE AFFECTED THE INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE LAW OF THE MEMBER STATES, IN REGARD TO THE CONCEPT OF PUBLIC SERVICE OR PUBLIC UNDERTAKING AND, MORE IN GENERAL, TO THE ACTIVITY OF NATIONAL ADMINISTRATIONS. THE COURSE ALSO FOCUSES ON THE NEW TOOLS FOR THE INTERNAL MARKET INTEGRATION PROVIDED BY THE STRATEGY DEVELOPED BY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION.

A SELECTION OF READINGS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES WILL BE USED, INCLUDING SEVERAL DECISIONS OF THE EUROPEAN COURTS AND DOCUMENTS OF THE EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS.
