The course outlines the origin and development of the European process integration in the areas covered by the internal market and the competition policy. The main focal point of the first part of the course lies in the basic freedoms regulations (the freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and persons). The second part focuses on the competition regulations addressed to private undertakings (the prohibitions of antitrust agreements and abuse of dominant position provided for under Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty, and the provisions on mergers and acquisitions under Council Regulation No. 139/2004). An overview of procedural rules related to the implementation of EC competition law and its relationship with national competition law will be given.
