For more than sixty years, the Europa- Institut, which is located at the axis of Strasbourg-Luxembourg-Brussels, has been educating young academics from all around the world in the context of European and International Law. On 6 November 1951 the Europa-Institut was first founded as the “European Institut” of Saarland University. Its aim was to participate in the design of Europe by providing academic classes that dealt with European questions and approached topics from a European perspective. Due to the political developments in Saarland from 1955 until 1957, the Institute shifted from a cultural and literary research institution to a legal and economic one, and finally turned into an almost entirely legally focused institution in 1964. In 1972, the Europa-Institut was fully integrated into the law department of the Faculty of Law and Economics of Saarland Univer- sity. In 1980, under the directorship of Prof. Dr. Michael R. Will (1979-1989) and Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Georg Ress (1979-1998), the postgraduate program “European Integration” was introduced which gives university graduates from around the globe a more deepened academic insight into the legal and economic basics of European integration and European history. In 1990, a separate econo- mics department was formed. With its bilingual Master’s program “European and International Law”, which awards the title “Master of Laws” (LL.M.), the Europa-Institut offers a special study program in European and International Law with its own lectures and lec- turers. Since the winter semester of 2011/2012, five different modules are offered: Module 1 – Europäische Integration/ European Integration, Module 2 – Europäi- sches Wirtschaftsrecht/ European Economic Law, Module 3 – Außenwirtschaft und Investionsrecht/ Foreign Trade and Investment, Module 4 – International Dispute Resolution, Module 5 – Europäischer und Internationaler Menschen- rechtsschutz/ European and International Protection of Human Rights. Course content is directed at the specific demands of European and international markets and taught in a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application. The lecturers of the Europa-Institut strive to include real-life experiences in their classes. Apart from the professors from Saarbrücken, many visiting professors from around the world, as well as top officials from the European Commission, the European Council, the European Parliament, and the European Court of Jus- tice teach at the Europa-Institut. Furthermore, leaders from the judiciary, econo- my, administration and politics give lectures. In the reporting year 2015, the Europa-Institut (law department) was led by its directors Prof. Dr. Marc Bungenberg, Chair for Public Law, Public International 1 Law and European Law as well as Prof. Dr. Thomas Giegerich, Chair for Euro- pean Law, Public International Law, and Public Law. The directors receive support from the managing board of the Europa-Institut, which deals in particular with questions of organisation and administration. The responsibilities of the managing board range from the administration of the curriculum, the organisation of the study program, and the maintenance of connections and cooperations (i.e. publici- ty work) to the editorship of the Institute’s own journal (ZEuS). The library of the Europa-Institut, which currently consists of 57,000 volumes, 180 periodicals and 40 continuance works, provides for an excellent research en- vironment. It is geared entirely toward European and International law and since 1972 constitutes one of 40 European documentation centres (EDC) in Germany, which are integrated into a network of EDCs across Europe. The Europa-Institut is not only well connected within the university, but also has built a large network through external cooperation. Furthermore, the Europa- Institut has committed itself to advanced trainings by providing Summer and Win- ter Schools for students and practitioners in the field of European and Internatio- nal Law, mainly in corporation with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Additionally, courses are offered to Saarland ministries. The Europa- Institut also profits from its close contacts to its alumni via the Alumni Associati- on of the Europa-Institut’s (EVER e.V.) law department, which helps in the deve- lopment of the curriculum and to adjust the study program to the requirements of the professional practice. 1.2 New Director of the Europa-Institut Prof. Dr. Marc Bungen- berg Prof. Dr. Marc Bungenberg LL.M. (Lausanne) started his professorship for Public Law, Public International Law and European Law at the Law and Economics Faculty at Saarland University 1 April 2015. He is the successor of Prof. Dr. Wer- ner Meng and is now Co-Director of the Europa-Institut. Professor Bungenberg studied law at the universities of Hannover and Lausanne, where he took his second state examination and graduated in the field of Euro- pean Law at the University of Hannover in 1999. Subsequently he was promoted to professor in the subject of business law at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, where he was awarded with a venia legendi for the subjects of Public Law, Euro- pean Law, Public International Law and International Economic Law in 2006. Afterwards, he worked at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, TU Dresden, Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen and at the University of Siegen, where he was Professor for Public Law, European Law, Public Internatio- nal Law and International Economic Law from October 2010 until March 2015. 2 Professor Bungenberg is a visiting professor for German Public Law, European and International Economic Law at the University of Lausanne, a member of the research center for the Right of European Integration, LMU Munich, a member of the scientific advisory board of the International Investment Law Centre Cologne as well as a visiting professor for International Raw Material Law at the University of Lucerne. Professor Bungenberg is also a member of the Association of German Constitutional Law Professors, the International Law Association, a member of the Committee on Sustainability in Natural Resources Development, the German Association for International Law, the Scientific Association for European Law as well as a member of the working group of European Integration, the German- Swiss Association of Lawyers and the Forum Vergabe e.V.

The Judgment of the German Federal Constitutional Court in Brief On 5 May 2020, the German Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) in Karlsruhe gave judgment in the constitutional complaint proceedings concerning the programme for the purchase of public sector securities (PSPP) of the European Central Bank.1 In essence, it has decided, - that the ECB had neither examined nor demonstrated that its measures complied with the principle of proportionality, with the result that the PSPP was an ultra vires act from a procedural perspective; - that the judgment of the European Court of Justice to the contrary2 was based on an interpretation of the Treaties that was patently untenable, i.e.
