Course syllabus
The course is divided in two parts. The first part aims at providing a general framework for the EU common policy concerning transports.
The second part focuses on an in-depth analysis of the following issues: competition, safety and protection of passengers' fundamental rights.
Competition-related issues will be dealt with under several viewpoints: a) the liberalization process, between International law and EU law; b) the EU's external relations; c) the analysis of the regulatory barriers to market entry; d) regulation and access to infrastructures.
The course will subsequently analyze different aspects related to the subjects of safety and the protection of passengers' fundamental rights. In particular, the following issues will be covered: a) safety procedures at the international and EU level; b) the prevention of illegal acts.
A strong focus will be reserved to the topic of the carriers' liability for accidents or bad service, and the protection of passengers at the international and EU level.
The abovementioned issues will be examined with particular reference to the air transport.
Such issues will be analyzed through case studies, as well as through an assessment of the case law of EU and national courts.
