Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding to the EU law of State aids in the financial sector, covering the relevant legal framework, case law, and the fundamental issues shaping EU State aid policy. Starting from a comprehensive presentation of State aid policy, its origin and evolution in the European Union, the course will dwell on practical aspects such as procedures for notification to the European Commission, and enforcement in the European Court and national courts. Most importantly, the course will offer an in-depth analysis of the Communication on state aids in the banking sector of 2013, of its application (measured against previous practice) and of the ensuing case law, as well as its relationship with further legislative developments in the field of bank resolution.
