The course's rationale is to further the students' understanding about the EU internal market and the rules governing it with the focus on the four freedoms and the principles regulating free movement within the EU. Its builds upon the foundation material in ECIEU taught earlier in the year and examines the substantive law of the ED. As such, the course provides combination of lectures on laws and rules regulating internal market followed by discussion. It also explains the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital and concludes with basic competition rules with reference to the case law.

By the end of the course, students should be able to: - identify and account for the current institutional and constitutional characteristics of the EU, especially in its Community pillar, and the unique character of this legal order. - identify the structure and impact of the four freedoms on the common market and EU integration process. - demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the legal rules applying in a number of core substantive areas, and account for their evolution. - demonstrate knowledge of the relationship between the EU and Greater China. - demonstrate an ability to situate their knowledge of EU law within the wider political, economic and social context, with such general contextual knowledge gained, at least in part, through independent, non-directed reading.
