| Inhalt | Equality or non-discrimination are corner stones of European Union (EU) law, both in the internal market (here mostly focused on the prohibition of discrimination on the ground of nationality) as well as in other fields such as in EU social law (discrimination on the grounds of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion or belief, race or ethnic origin). The subject is both internesting demanding because of the multi-layered nature of the field, where general principles of equality/equal treatment or non-discrimination and rights under the Union Charter of Fundamental Rights play together with the numerous specific prohibitions of non-discrimination as stated in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in secondary law and in Treaties concluded by the EU with non-member States. Against this background, the colloquium focuses on the meaning and application of the concepts of equal treatment or non-discrimination in EU law. It will begin with two introductory sessions and an exercise session. In this part, the meaning of legal equality and non-discrimination in general will be discussed, and an introduction into their application notably in the context of EU social law (which includes notably employment law) will be provided. The introductory part will be followed by a number of sessions in which the students present topics of their personal choice and interest. Depending on the interests of the students, this may cover a wide field, ranging from e.g. employment law to transport law, asylum law, tax law and environmental law – in fact, almost every existing field of EU law. Students might also wish to choose topics from EU association regimes such as the law of the European Economic Area (EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) or the so-called bilateral law EU-Switzerland. The professor will be happy to assist students in defining a topic. |
| Lernziele | Students will have deepened their previous knowledge on European Union law, using the particular focus of legal equality and non-discrimination. |
