Based on a thorough assessment of the areas in need of further training in the field of European Administrative Law resulting from a survey of judges, prosecutors and judicial trainers, the Administrative Law Training Guidelines represent a diverse compendium of legal contributions from the Romanian National Institute of Magistracy (NIM), the Portuguese Center for Judicial Studies (CEJ), the Polish National School of Judiciary and Public Prosecution (KSSIP), the Latvian Judicial Training Center (LTMC) and the Academy of European Law (ERA). As evidenced by the title, the present Guidelines are intended to serve as an up-to-date authoritative index of the most seminal legislation, case-law and relevant documentation in the respective sub-fields of European Administrative Law. The aim of the Guidelines is to serve as a working tool for the development of quality training in the field of Administrative Law across Europe, as well as a handbook for judicial trainers and practitioners on the most recent developments in the fundamental areas of EU Administrative Law. The Guidelines do not purport to be a textbook on the topics covered; they are designed to be a practical and manageable guide for immediate application and training. The authorial diversity of the different texts provides the Guidelines with a multifaceted approach to the main topics identified by legal experts and practitioners as needing more pressing, up-to-date training. As a result, the Guidelines cover a broad range of legal issues through a total of six chapters: 6 Chapter I – The General Principles of European Union Law Chapter II – The European Union Judicial System Chapter III – European Human / Fundamental Rights Chapter IV – European Union Migration and Asylum Law Chapter V – European Union Tax Law Chapter VI – European Union Environmental Law Each Chapter provides the reader with a detailed outline of the relevant legislative and jurisprudential sources on the topic being discussed, as well as a description of the suggested Trainers, Trainees, Methodology and Training Format best-suited for quality training in the specific area. In addition, a ranking on the training priority of subject matters and the adequacy of complementary e-learning methods for optimal training is included. Being an open-ended and ever-evolving document, the present Guidelines will be subject to an annual review to ensure the quality of its content and the completeness of its references. 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF EUROPEAN UNION LAW 13 I.
