Contenu du cours
It explores first the institutional aspects of EU trade law (EU competence in trade, its scope, decision-making procedures, and the relationship between eu law and international law). It then looks at substantive aspects of trade law, discussing the key principles of WTO law (e.g. MFN, non-discrimination, general exceptions) and EU law (covering inter alia trade remedies and the key rules in preferential trade agreements). In doing so we also discuss the economics of trade liberalization and the key rational and economic effects of trade policy instruments. We will cover some aspects of trade in goods, trade in services, trade and domestic regulations and if time permits investments.
