Course objectives
EU member states have entrusted all decision-making competences with respect to the ‘common policies’, which are the agricultural policy, the trading policy, the transport policy and the currency policy, to EU authorities. Besides these policies, there is another group referred to as community (coordinated) policies; within those, the decision-making competences are distributed among member states and EU authorities. This subject deals with both common and community policies.

At the end of the course students should be able to:
- question the effect of specific measures on EU development
- formulate their own proposals for changes in the direction of the policies
- discuss the positive and the negative aspects of the inclusion of a national economy in EU structures
- assess the efficiency of the common policies
- illustrate the historical context of the individual EU policies
