The aim of this part of the course (10 hours) is to show how consumer protection policy contributes to European integration, with its strengths and weaknesses.
For each topic covered, European consumer law provisions will be linked to a central theme of EU law.
The course is organized around:

- 1 session to present your work (Thursday): for each topic covered, you will work in a small group on presenting a reverse case study (see methodology in the attachment) in English, in the form of a PowerPoint presentation; after our discussions, you will have the opportunity to submit a revised version; you will be assessed on your oral and written performance.
List of topics:
1. The application of primary European law in consumer law relations
2. The horizontal and vertical effect of European directives in consumer law relations
3. The uniform interpretation of European law in consumer law relations
4. The margin of implementation given to Member States by European law in consumer law relations
