Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

By providing the legal framework for monitoring the subsidies granted by the EU Member States to their private undertakings, State aid rules aim at ensuring a level playing field among the companies active within the internal market. State aid rules, therefore, complement the EU competition rules included in Art 101 and 102 TFEU. The course analyses the EU State aid rules included in Art 107 and 108 TFEU. In particular, the course discusses the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in relation to these provisions of the Treaty, as well as the system of public and private enforcement of EU State aid law. Finally, the course analyses the application of State aid rules in relation to Services of General Economic Interest.

The course is suitable for students interested to deepen their knowledge and understanding of EU law, in a specific policy area like State aid law.

Assessment and permitted materials

A final oral exam will take place at the end of the course via the virtual class on Moodle.

Students who actively participate in the class (e.g. by summarizing the facts and the content of one of the CJEU judgments assigned for the class) will receive a +. Every + will increase the final grade for the course of 0.25 points, up to a maximum of 1 point.
