Course objectives
This subject is the English version of seminars of the first part of EU Law I and II, e.i. MP609Z. The purpose of this two-semester subject (EU Law I and II) is to provide students with basic knowledge on EC and EU - its development, institutional law, notion of the EC and EU law incl. their relation to internal law, EC substantial law (internal market regulation). The final part of this course concerns second and third pillars of the EU. 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.
