Course syllabus
The course is divided into two parts. The first part aims to provide a general framework of the European Union's common transport policy.
The second part will focus on the in-depth study of the following profiles: competition, safety and the protection of passengers' rights.
The issue of competition will be dealt with under various profiles: a) the liberalization process, between rules of international law and European Union law; b) the external relations of the European Union; c) the analysis of regulatory barriers to market access; d) regulation and access to infrastructure.
The course will then analyze the various aspects relating to the issue of safety and, more generally, the protection of the fundamental rights of passengers. In particular, the following aspects will be addressed: a) security procedures in the international and European Union; b) the prevention of illegal acts.
Ample space will then be devoted to the issue of the liability of carriers in the event of accidents or inefficiencies and, consequently, to the forms of protection guaranteed at international and European level to passengers and, more generally, to consumers.
The topics described above will be analyzed with particular reference to air transport.
The issues described above will be addressed through the study of practical cases, as well as EU and national jurisprudence.
There is an opportunity to participate in the selection for a training internship at the Transportation Regulatory Authority, ART. Turin.
