EU Administrative Law

EU Administrative Law

EU Administrative Law is an overarching theme addressing most relevant legal and governance issues pertaining to the functioning of EU administration. Designed around the core concept of ‘implementation of EU law’, it provides you with the conceptual and practical toolbox, as well as the legal-policy framework for better understanding and working with/within EU administration as a multilevel system put in place for the effective application of EU law. It is an essential training programme for EU officials and national civil servants who need more basic or advanced knowledge and insights into the legal principles and rules governing EU administration, as well as into the complex processes through which EU law and policies are being implemented.
