Description
It is no longer sufficient for anyone who practises a trade or is engaged in commerce to be familiar only with one's national rules and regulations.

The proposed directive on services in the internal market will, in particular, bring fundamental changes for companies operating across internal EU borders. This seminar will focus on the relationship between the Internal Market and national rules and regulations in the field of commercial law, as well as the associated interactions.

Not only does the Internal Market have a considerable impact on national commercial law, but EU commercial law is also influenced by developments in the various Member States and by the growing convergence of national markets. In this context, the seminar will examine aspects of labour law, fiscal law, consumer protection, competition law and the four basic freedoms. This analysis will encompass European commercial law and legislative proposals at this level, as well as developments in specific Member States.

The seminar will end with a panel discussion on the dichotomy of harmonisation and competing legal systems."
