The students are required to attend first the corse of European Private Law - 1

The course begins with an introduction to the current problems of the implementation of European Contract Law into the domestic systems of the EU Members. Specific examples of troublesome measures adopted by Member States when coping with European Directives to be implemented. Linguistic problems, different strutures of Contrac Law regimes all around Europe make it often difficult to achieve the harmonisation goal. Similar problems occur with Regulations once they are asked to be applied into domestic systems. The role of the European Court of Justice is crucial in bulding a true common set of principles and rules for all the EU citizens.
The second part of the course is dedicated to the interference of competition law in private law matters, and particularly in the freedom of contract and freeodm to run a business. M&A notification duties and the prohibitions under articles 101 and 102 of the TFEU turn oput to be one of the most, if not the most, important means to make the Europen Union pursue its competition policy. Examples shll be made on how Commission and European Court of Justice interprete and apply the competition rules and how they affact profoundly private law affairs.

All the materials shall be available on line.

The final exam shall be an open-question written test to be competed in one hour.
