Methodological foundations of the Europeanisation process in private law - positive, negative and instrumental legal integration

Objectif



Research objectives and content
In response to the frequent critiques of opaque and far-reaching European law intrusions into national legal systems, this thesis tries to methodologically recontruct the different forms of interplay between the two legal orders, with a view to alleviating frictions and enhancing legal certainty. Furthermore, by drawing on a common core of methodological and substantive elements of all European private laws, it will promote a renaissance of a European ius commune and of a common European legal science.
To the above ends, in Part I, three basic categories, partly adopted from integration theories, will be elaborated: positive, negative and instrumental legal integration. Part II on positive integration deals with the gradual genesis of EC private law and is aimed at promoting system-building within it (by synthesising common features, e.g. the concepts of consumer and good faith, within the already existing directives and by making recourse to a common core of European private law as formulated in the Lando principles in gap filling). Part III on negative integration tries to conceptualise the direct impact of EC law on domestic private law by reconstructing, in the light of conflict of laws techniques, the ECJ's famous doctrines on direct effect, supremacy, preemtion, direct effect of directives, 'directive-conforming' interpretation of national law, and state liability. Part IV on instrumental integration will instead provide an exhaustive picture of all the positive regulatory tasks that EC law imposes on domestic private law: the legislative implementation of directives, the supplementation of EC law (including sanctions of violations) and the recognition of foreign law, as developed in the famous Cassis jurisprudence and adopted in the concept of 'minimum-harmonisation' .
Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact)
The post-doctoral research at the European University Institute Florence will:
-lay the ground for a German 'habilitation' thesis (constituting a formal requirement for German and Austrian university teachers); -enhance professional chances by providing a truly European formation (including the knowledge of six European languages); -enhance mobility as a university lecturer being able to teach almost everywhere in the EU;
