Course objectives
The purpose of this two-semester subject (EU Law I and II) is to provide students with basic knowledge on EU - its development, institutional law, notion of the EC and EU law incl. their relation to internal law, EC substantial law (internal market regulation), including the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Main objective of the course EU Law I is the understanding of the supranational character of the EU, its law system and essentially the position of EU law in the system of Czech internal law. Those problems are considered under the dynamics of the current developments (Lisbon Treaty). Decisive accent is given to the ECJ case law, that must be understood by students as an equivalent source of law. What makes the subject Právo Evropské unie I - výběrový dovednostní seminář different from the regular course is the fact that the lectures are more focused on the reception of EU law by Czech judicial practice as well as on practical knowledge of EU law databases and work with them.
