Course description, purpose of the course: The course intends to raise and explain the basic issues of the operation, the institutional composition and the

policy instruments of the European Union, focusing on the aspects of economic integration. As the result of half

a century of gradual progress and expansion, the EU has emerged as the defining framework for the

understanding of European politics and economic integration. The directions and meaning of European political,

economic and social transformations can not be properly grasped without the identification of the rules and

organisational machinery, the policy tools and political division of responsibilities within the European system of

multilevel governance, the characteristics of the legal system and the decision-making mechanism of the

European Union. The course puts special emphasis on the instruments and rules of European legal

harmonization.

Course outline, description of acquired knowledge, skills and competences:

1. The brief history of European integration after World War Two. Forms of economic integration and

their evolution in the European project: free-trade association, customs union, common market and

single European market

2. The principal organs of the European Union: the Council of the EU - its functions, operational methods

and levels, and its supportive organizational structure (General Secretariat).

3. The principal organs of the European Union: The European Commission – composition,

responsibilities, functions, instruments of action, agencies under its direction.

4. The principal organs of the European Union: The European Parliament and its election, members,

organization, competencies and its place in the institutional balance. The European Central Bank (ECB)

5. The principal organs of the European Union: The European Court of Justice (ECJ): jurisdiction,

procedure and its place in the system of judicial remedies on the basis of EU law.

6. Decision- and law-making process: legislative procedures (consultation, assent, co-operation and co-

decision), voting system within the Union (unanimity and qualified majority), delegation of decisions

and “comitology”

7. Multilevel governance in the EU: sovereignty, supra-nationality and subsidiarity in the division of roles

and competencies (exclusive, shared, complementary) among the main institutions, community method

and intergovernmental co-ordination

8. Unity, flexibility and transformation in the EU: enlargement, multi-speed integration and enhanced co-

operation

9. The structure of the European law: primary and secondary legal sources. Primary sources of EU law:

layers of fundamental accords (Rome, Single European Act, Maastricht, Amsterdam, Nice, Lisbon and

accession treaties) and international agreements. The standing of the European Union in trade-related

international organizations and international agreements.

10. The characteristics of the secondary sources of EU law: regulation, directive, decision, recommendation

and opinion as legislative acts of community institutions

11. The basics of the application of EU law in Member States: implementation, direct effect and direct

applicability, proportionality and legal certainty

12. The case-law of the European Court concerning the methods and outcomes of the application of

European law in the Member States

13. The basics of the four freedoms: introduction into the main concepts of the free movement of goods and

services
