1 Europa-Institut 1.1 Development and Structure of the Europa-Institut The Europa-Institut was founded at Saarland University in 1951 and is the second oldest institute of its kind in Europe. 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 economics 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 lecturers. 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, economy, 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

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 environment. 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 development 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.

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. His main research fields lie within European and International Economic Law, especially in Foreign Trade and International Investment Protection Law as well as Public Procurement Law and State Aid.

1.3 CeQuInt Accreditation Procedure Completed In February 2015, the Master’s program in European and International Law at the Europa-Institut was awarded the “Certificate for Quality of Internationalisation” (CeQuInt) by the European Consortium for Accreditation (ECA) during a two- day conference in Paris. The certificate is awarded to institutions that manage to integrate an international and intercultural dimension into their teaching. Generally, the certificate is aimed at making the internationalisation process within higher education more transpa- rent. Students, higher education, as well as society in general should profit from this development.

1.4 SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and Internation- al Law The “SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law” is a joint network of legal faculties from the Western Balkan region which is financially supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The cooperation consists of the Europa-Institut of Saarland University and the legal faculties of Belgrade (Serbia), Podgorica (Montenegro), Tirana (Albania), Skopje (Macedonia) and Zagreb (Croatia) as well as the South East European Law School (SEELS with its members from Sarajevo, Zenice, Mostar, Split, Osijek and Rijeka as well as Nis and Kraguejevac). The excellence network has set itself the aim of intensifying the cooperation in teaching and research in the field of European and public international law.

2 Research at the Europa-Institut 2.1 Research Areas of the Directors of the Europa-Institut 2.1.1 Research Focus of Director Prof. Dr. Marc Bungenberg LL.M. (Lau- sanne), Chair of Public Law, Public International Law and European Law As of 1 April 2015, Professor Bungenberg took over the Chair of Public Law, Public International Law and European Law at Saarland University. Before that, he was a professor at the University of Siegen, where he held the Chair in Public Law, European Law, Public International Law and International Economic Law. The focal point of his research is the analysis of current challenges in European and Public International Law in a time where globalisation, economization and competition among systems occur on several interacting levels. A particular research focus lies in the field of European and international economic law with its connections to and respective influences on the various national legal systems. Currently, a majority of papers and speeches deal with bilateral trade agreements of the European Union. The economic future of Europe depends on its positions in the international competition and the economic system in the 21st century. The basis for that is the legal arrangement of foreign (trade) politics. In the reporting year, Professor Bungenberg has held many talks on various events regarding this topic (see below). He is co-editor of the handbook regarding international investment law, which was published in the Spring of 2015. Since summer 2015, he is also a senior fellow at the Canadian Centre for International Governance Innova- tion (CIGI). Apart from foreign trade law and public international law – here in particular international investment law and world trade law – Professor Bungenberg also publi- shes in the fields of public procurement, state aid and competition law. A new area of focus is being established in the field of international commodity law. In the upcoming years, a new European and international framework of rules on commodity trade will be established. Staff members of the Chair have therefore participated in an international conference on commodities in Saint Petersburg. A book regarding international commodity law (Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources), where Professor Bungenberg is co-editor, was published in Spring 2015. With regard to that, Professor Bungenberg has also held a lecture series at the University of Lucerne in March 2015. Further co-operations with other foreign universities are being planned. In the reporting year, Professor Bungenberg held the lecture “Übung im öffentli- chen Recht” (Exercise in public law), “Internationales Wirtschaftsrecht” (Interna- tional Economic Law), “Europarecht II” (European Law II), “International Trade, Investment and Raw Materials Law”, a WTO Moot Court on the island of Frauen- chiemsee as well as a seminar about European economic law. Students from both

4 the Europa-Institut’s Master’s program and students from the special focal point International Law, European Law and Human Rights Law have attended the seminars. Furthermore, Professor Bungenberg held a guest professorship at the University of Lausanne.

2.1.2 Research Focus of Director Prof. Dr. Thomas Giegerich LL.M. (Uni- versity of Virginia), Chair of European Law, Public International Law and Public Law In the reporting year 2015, the Chair continued to exist as a Jean-Monnet-Chair of the European Commission, after this title was rewarded to Prof. Giegerich in Sep- tember 2013. Accordingly, the team of the Chair has conducted a number of activities in order to meet the requirements of the Jean-Monnet-Programme. Primarily, the Jean-Monnet-Blog of the Chair has to be mentioned, which can be accessed at www.jean-monnet-saar.eu, as well as www.09051950.eu and by a direct link on the homepage of the Chair (www.uni- saarland.de/lehrstuhl/giegerich.html). The blog is constantly maintained and updated by employees of the Chair. It does not only contain a link to the latest press releases of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Court of Human Rights, the European Commission and from Eurostat, but also contains publications about current topics via the “Saar Briefs”, “Saar Expert Papers” and “Saar Blueprints”. The Saar Briefs provide a short and precise analysis of current topics in the field of European integration, European law and European politics. The authors of the Saar Briefs are not only employees of the Chair but also national and international experts and are published both in German and English. In the reporting year 2015, they covered topics such as the transatlantic free trade agreement (TTIP), the politics of the European Central Bank (such as the OMT-decisions), the development of asylum law in Europe (e.g. the review the Khlaifia and others against Italy judgment of the ECtHR), but also the terror attacks in Paris. Apart from that, the developments of human rights protection, in particular the protection of privacy plays an important role. The “Saar Expert Papers” deal with German and English-speaking expert analyses in the field of European law and European integration, which publish their research results in the E-Paper-Series. The ISSN-Number of the said E-Paper is 2199- 0069. The topics were, among others, German and European Asylum law, data protection law and the deployment of German administrative civil servants in the so-called Hotspots as well as the TTIP-Agreement between the European Union and the United States of America Finally, the “Saar Blueprints” is an E-Paper-Series, which is primarily directed at young scientists who can make available to the public texts regarding the development of European integration. The ISSN of the Saar Blueprints is 2199-0050. In the reporting year 2015, the Saar Blueprints covered topics regarding the Bio- ethics-Convention, the latest European Bank-Insolvency Law and hate speech on Facebook.

The various forms of publications of the blog are both directed at scientists and practitioners but also the broad public. The public is, however, not only informed via the blog about the latest developments in European law, European integration and European politics. On 5 May 2015, a considerable number of high school students came to the Europa-Institut in order to get an understanding about Eu- ropean integration and to discuss current events at the European level. After an introduction by Prof. Giegerich, the students attended a workshop, where they were able to take a closer look at specific areas of European law. Also, the Saar- land media reported on this event. The Jean-Monnet-Blog article concerning the visit can be accessed via http://jean-monnet-saar.eu/?p=790. Due to the positive feedback from the students and the employees of the Europa-Institut, a similar event is planned for May 2016. Apart from the “Europatag”, Prof. Giegerich and his employees regularly attend panel discussions regarding current European topics.

Prof. Giegerich’s teaching activities: In the reporting year 2015, Prof. Giegerich held lectures in European Law I, Public International law General Part and Special Part, Constitutional Law, Gene- ral Governmental Studies and International Protection of Human Rights. He also held block seminars concerning the universal and regional protection of human rights in Europe and other parts of the world as well as fundamental constitutional principles and their enforcement in the European multi-level governance system. The seminars were attended by students of the LL.M. program of the Europa- Institut but also by students from the special study unit 4 of general law studies at Saarland University (International law, European law and Human Rights Protec- tion). Furthermore, the Chair was in charge for an Online-Exam-Course in the special study unit 4 (International law, European law and Human Rights Protec- tion) in order to prepare them for the state exam in the special study unit. With regard to this, the students received three exams and outline solutions each semester.

2.3 Publications 2.3.1 Zeitschrift für Europarechtliche Studien (ZEuS) Since 1998, the legal journal “Zeitschrift für Europarechtliche Studien” (ZEuS) has been published by the current and former directors of the Europa-Institut. It is an internationally established forum for articles from the academic as well as practical field which is also intended to motivate young researchers and students to publish articles. The journal is published four times a year with the ISSN 1435- 439X. Since 2014, the journal is published at Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft Baden- Baden, which is also responsible for the subscription service. With regard to content, ZEuS is broad in scope. The contributions deal with current and general problems in European integration, European law, and Internatio- nal law. Publications are available in German, English, French and Spanish. The examination and selection of contributions occurs via an extensive and thorough evaluation procedure (peer review) by the editorial team and the publishers. It is particularly important for ZEuS that not only well-known scholars but also young academics can contribute to the journal. Contributions by young academics as well as exceptional Master’s theses and seminar papers from students are explicitly encouraged. Furthermore, the guest lectures held at the Europa-Institut are also generally published in ZEuS. In the reporting year, the following articles were published in the 18th volume of ZEuS:

2.3.2 Schriften des Europa-Instituts der Universität des Saarlandes – Rechtswissenschaft Apart from the Institut’s own journal ZEuS, the Europa-Institut of Saarland Uni- versity is also responsible for the series “Schriften des Europa-Instituts der Uni- versität des Saarlandes – Rechtswissenschaften”. The series is published by Prof. Dr. Marc Bungenberg, Prof. Dr. Thomas Giegerich, Prof. Dr. Werner Meng, Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Georg Ress and Prof. Dr. Torsten Stein at Nomos Verlags- gesellschaft. To date, the series encompasses 100 volumes. With this series, the Europa-Institut provides an ideal forum for various publications, mainly focused on conference papers and dissertations. The aim of the series is the publication of general or current topics on European Law, including both the European Union and the Council of Europe (especially the system of human rights’ protection). Monographs dealing with the intersection between European Law and Public International Law as well as Public Internatio- nal Business Law (in particular in regards to the WTO) can be published. In addition to that, the series is open to the publication of research results from the Eu- ropa-Institut as well as guest lectures, which were held during conferences organised by the Europa-Institut. The series also aims to provide young researchers with the opportunity to publish their research results. Therefore, outstanding dissertations are published and on rare occasions also Master’s theses. Even though the majority of monographs and conference proceedings originate from the Europa-Institut or Saarland University, this is not a requirement to publish.

In the reporting year 2015, the following volumes were published:

2.3.3 Europa-Institut of Saarland University – Selected legal documents The Europa-Institut is the publisher of a series of legal documents in English, which currently consists of six volumes. Originally, the reason for publishing these legal documents was the fact that existing legal texts did not satisfy the specific requirements necessary to successfully complete the various study units of the Europa-Institut. To fill this gap, the Europa-Institut decided to publish its own series of legal documents to equip students of the Europa-Institut as well as practitioners, policymakers, and international lawyers with the necessary materials in those specific interest areas. In the past years, volumes on “International Dispute Resolution”, “European Law”, “International Trade Law” and “Public Internatio- nal Law” were published. In 2014, the second revised and extended edition of the volume “European Law”, as well as a new volume called “Public International Law” was published as the 4th volume. The 5th volume focused on “International Human Rights Law” will be finished by spring 2015. There are already plans to publish two additional volumes. The series “Europa-Institut of Saarland University – Selected legal documents” is published in the Alma Mater Verlag Saarbrücken.

In the reporting year 2015, the following volumes were published:

Volume Europa-Institut of International Dispute Resolution – Selected 1 Saarland University / Documents, 2nd revised and extended edition Stefan Weber 452 S., ISBN 978-3-935009-84-3 Volume Europa-Institut of European Law – Selected Documents, 2 Saarland University 3nd revised and extended edition 586 S., ISBN 978-3-935009-91-1 Volume Europa-Institut of International Human Rights Law – Selected 5 Saarland University Documents 596 S., ISBN 978-3-935009-76-8 Volume SEE | EU Cluster of European Law – Selected Documents concern- 6 Excellence in Europe- ing South Eastern Europe an and International 620 S., ISBN 978-3-935009-93-5 Law

2.3.4 SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law • Series of Papers The Europa-Institut, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Thomas Giegerich and research assistant Mareike Fröhlich, in cooperation with the Centre for SEELS, is responsible for the publication “SEE-LAW NET: Networking of Lawyers in Ad- vanced Teaching and Research of EU Law post-Lisbon, Outcome of the SEE Graduates EU Law Teaching & Research Academy 2013, Collection of Papers” (ISBN 978-608-4608-06-0). This publication compiles the scientific contributions of the participants of the Summer Academy “SEE Graduates EU Teaching & Research Academy” which took place at the Europa-Institut in June/ July 2013. The contributions deal with the accession process of Balkan states, European legal questions, European Private Law, and human rights aspects. The SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law • Series of Papers is a new publication series in English, published by the thematic network „SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law.“ The network consists of the Europa-Institut and the law faculties of the universities Bel- grade (Serbia), Podgorica (Montenegro), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Skopje (Macedonia), Tirana (Albania) und Zagreb (Croatia) as well as the East European Law School Network (Center for SEELS). The Cluster of Excellence is financially supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research until 2018. The series offers a forum for young researchers and academics from the Europa-Institut as well as for partners in South Eastern Europe on the issues of European and international law and here especially on the integration of South Eastern Europe and the adoption and realization of an acquis communautaire. In 2015, the first volume of the series was published under the title “South Eastern Europe and the European Union – Legal Aspects” with 12 articles by researchers from the law faculties in Belgrade, Osijek, Rijeka, Skopje and Tirana, dealing with, among other things, topics like refugee law, community law and comparative law.

3.2 Courses The Master’s program consists of a nine-month study program and a subsequent three-month period to complete the Master’s thesis. The lectures are offered in German or English and are completed with a written or oral exam. Credit Points are given out for almost all courses. In order to successfully complete the Master’s program, 60 Credit Points are necessary. A minimum of 45 Credit Points are obtained from the study program and an additional 15 from the Master’s thesis. The program is divided into five modules and offers a great freedom of choice with regard to the individual courses. The interconnection of the various modules enables students to select courses both from within and across the research focus. The different study units enable students to specialise in rapidly expanding new professional areas already during their studies at the Europa-Institut. The study

44 units only start in the winter semester and they always extend over a period of two semesters. If a minimum of 12 Credit Points are obtained, the completion of the study units is referenced on the Master’s degree. From the five study units offered, a maximum of two can be chosen. The Europa-Institut offers the following modules:

Module 1 Europäische Integration/ European Integration (auf Deutsch und Englisch) Module 2 Schwerpunktbereich Europäisches Wirtschaftsrecht/ European Economic Law (auf Deutsch und Englisch) Module 3 Schwerpunktbereich Außenwirtschaft und Investitionsrecht/ Foreign Trade and Investment (auf Englisch) Module 4 Schwerpunktbereich Internationale Streitbeilegung/ International Dispute Resolution (auf Englisch) Module 5 Schwerpunktbereich Europäischer und Internationaler Men- schenrechtsschutz/ European and International Protection of Human Rights (auf Deutsch und Englisch)1 Module 6 Masterarbeit/ Master’s thesis

Module 1: Europäische Integration/ European Integration Module 1 focuses on the basics and foundations of European Law. Aside from the more classical fields of European Law, lectures will also cover subjects such as European Private Law, and the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy, in order to provide students with a basic understanding of and an insight into the legal inter-connectedness of the European Union and its institutions. Through a variety of practical simulation courses, such as the ECJ-Moot Court or EUROSIM, students are able to put their acquired theoretical knowledge into practice.

Module 2: Study Unit Europäisches Wirtschaftsrecht/ European Economic Law The study unit comprises various areas of law which are of fundamental importance not only in Europe but in a global perspective, with regard to both business and legal practice. The courses convey sound knowledge of the general framework that characterizes economic activity in the European Union (the Eco-

1 In winter semester 2015/2016 the module title was changed from “European Protection of Human Rights“ to “European and International Protection of Human Rights“.

45 nomic and Monetary Union, Banking Law and European Tax Law). Students may additionally opt to deepen their knowledge of more particular regulations which economic activities in the EU might be subject to (e.g. European Competition Law, Economic and Competition Policy) or that potentially accompany such activities (e.g. Intellectual Property Law). The challenges of economic globalization are taken into account in such courses, in which the subject matter extends beyond EU borders. In addition, numerous case studies are offered as part of the study unit, which allow students to put their theoretical knowledge into practice. Moreo- ver, students have the opportunity to focus on European Management.

Module 3: Study Unit Außenwirtschaft und Investitionsrecht/ Foreign Trade and Investment The study unit deals with economic globalization, especially in the areas of trade, investment and capital transactions. Courses such as International Trade, Invest- ment and Raw Materials Law and further selected parts of public international business law convey essential knowledge of key material in International Econo- mic Law. Special attention is given to the interplay between economics and law, a relationship that is becoming increasingly important in both international and European legal practice. Courses that delve more deeply into the subject matter include lectures based on the foreign trade law of the European Union and its member states, substantive WTO Law (particularly focusing on the GATT, the GATS and the TRIPS Agreement) and the harmonization of national trade laws. Certain courses are centered on legal areas that are gaining importance as a result of increased international trade (such as laws relating to financial supervision). In addition, courses are offered on international economic and monetary policy as well as on international economic sanctions laws.

Module 4: Study Unit Internationale Streitbeilegung/ International Dispute Resolution The study unit International Dispute Resolution familiarizes students with typical problems and the basic concepts of international commercial arbitration, international investment arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. The program focuses on efficient and fair dispute resolution in a transnational context, in a world where commercial courts are national institutions. Hereto the study unit offers, in addition to the named lecture topics, complementing lectures for increased understanding and insight, for instance in “International Business Transactions”, a lecture focusing on students acquiring specialized expertise as well as insight into the many cultural perspectives and aspects relevant to doing business across borders, in order for students to get an enhanced understanding of the complexity of cross- border trade. Case studies, as well as negotiation and procedural training, are an

46 important part of the study unit and provide an ideal addition to the lectures on offer. This enables students to obtain an ideal mix of theoretically minded lectures, equipping students with the necessary analytical abilities, and more practically applicable courses, allowing students to put their acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. Distinguished guest lecturers form an integral part of the program. Furthermore, excursions to International Institutions (such as the ICC in Paris) are on the agenda.

Module 5: Study Unit Europäischer und Internationaler Menschenrechts- schutz/ European and International Protection of Human Rights Participants in this study unit will focus on the main features, limits and developments in human rights protection and will be shown how to put this knowledge successfully into practice. The study unit deals with the development and realization of human rights in public international law and in international treaties on a global level as well as on a regional European level and their respective interrelati- ons. Moreover, the study unit focuses on the relationship between the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights as well as on the practice of the bodies of the United Nations, the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights and the Council of Europe. The practical application of human rights law is of particular relevance and interest for the purposes of this study unit. The courses cover both past and pending case law which addresses current issues. Moreover, the study unit is also about more general questions such as those relating to the rights of individuals in relation to the sovereignty of the European Union.

Module 6: Masterarbeit/ Master’s thesis The Master’s thesis constitutes an independent academic dissertation in the fields of European or international law. The Master’s thesis may be written in English or German. Students have a deadline of three months to write and submit their thesis. Pursuant to its successful completion, an additional amount of 15 credit points will be awarded. Students are free to choose when to start working on their Mas- ter’s thesis. Thus, the Master’s thesis can also be written at a later stage, for example when the student is already working. Once it has been successfully approved and graded by a nominated lecturer, the title “Master of Laws” is awarded to the student.

In the reporting year 2015, the following lectures were offered:

3.3 Special Courses 3.3.1 Moot Courts Moot Courts provide our students with the possibility to put theoretical knowledge into practice. Fictional cases are debated and students have the opportunity to assume the role of one of the proceeding’s parties under real-life conditions. Corresponding to their respective roles, students develop written submissions, learn to work under time pressure, and draft and defend arguments in oral hea- rings.

VIS Moot Court, 26 March to 3 April 2015 The 22nd WILLEM C. VIS – International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court Vienna was organised by the Association for the Organization and Promotion of the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot in collaboration with UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade Law), renowned arbitral institutions, and the law faculty of Vienna. The arbitrators in the competition are judges, lawyers and professors from around the globe. Its aim is to promote the studies of international civil and commercial law and to learn about arbitration in the international economic arena via the concrete application of a problem. Over a period of six months, the students participating in the competition focused on International Sales Law and Arbitration Law and had to prove their research abilities, excellent argumentation and quick learning skills, as well as their ability to work in a team. Between October and January, the students jointly drafted two complex English memoranda which were presented to an international jury. Starting in February, the students focused on developing concise and detailed presentations of the legal arguments. Practice pleadings were held in law firms in Frankfurt, Cologne and Düsseldorf; preliminary pre-moots took place in Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Paris, Bel- grade and Tiflis. Participation in the Moot Court is only possible for students after the completion of their studies, so one student from the 2013/2014 class participated in the Vis Moot together with four students from the law faculty of Saarland University.

WTO Moot Court, 14-18 June 2015 The WTO Moot Court 2015 took place in the Abbey of the Benedictines Frauen- wörth on the Fraueninsel in Lake Chiemsee, under the academic supervision of Prof. Dr. Marc Bungenberg, director of the Europa-Institut, and Prof. Dr. Werner Meng, former director of the Europa-Institut. Twelve students were divided into 3 groups – complainant, respondent and panel – and were part of a realistic simula-

55 tion of a dispute settlement procedure. Therefore they had first, to hand in a pleading and secondly, to argue their position in an oral proceeding during the hearing at the Fraueninsel. This year’s proceeding dealt with the mutual sanctions between EU and Russia in the context of the Crimea Crisis. On European side the sanctions concerned the freezing of bank accounts, travel bans and prohibition on the export of dual-use- goods. As a counter measure Russia forbade the import of agricultural products, raw materials and aliments with the origin of some European countries. Throug- hout the Moot Court the students had to deal with the WTO-conformity of these measures and particularly with the security exceptions of Article XXI GATT. With the participation at the WTO Moot Court the students deepened their knowledge in International Trade Law and could practice their pleading skills under real- life conditions. Furthermore they experienced working in a multinational team.

EuGH-Moot Court, 21 July 2015 The European Law Moot Court was conducted by Prof. Siegbert Alber, Dr. Jean- Christophe Puffer-Mariette, and Dr. Sibylle Seyr in collaboration with Marc Bie- nert. In the reporting year 2015, the Moot Court took place for the 16th time already. The Moot provides students with the opportunity to debate a case in the actual courtroom of the European Court of Justice and to assume the role of one of the parties in the proceedings under real-life conditions. The Moot Court is a hands-on experience that provides students with an insight into the dealings of the European Court of Justice. While working on a real pending case or a variation of such a case, the acquired theoretical knowledge from the lectures at the Europa-Institut is broadened and complemented with practical experience. This year’s proceeding dealt with the field of free internet access. The students had to find arguments with regard to their role concerning the question of liability in the case of an infringement.

3.3.2 Eurosim Eurosim is a political simulation which is academically supervised by Prof. Dr. Torsten Stein, Oskar Gstrein and Sebastian Zeitzmann. In the annual simulation, the decision-making process of current EU legislation is simulated by approxi- mately 160 students from about 20 international universities. In 2015, Eurosim took place from 25 until 29 March 2015 in Saratoga Springs (NY, USA). The participating universities came from, among others, Germany (Saarbrücken, Ham- burg), Belgium (Antwerp), the Netherlands (among others Maastricht and Twen-

56 te), Scotland and USA (predominantly from Pennsylvania and New York as host university). The participating students assumed the roles of the European Com- mission, the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the members of the European Parliament, and independent experts in order to develop a legislative act in the field of data protection in the European Union. Apart from intensive engagement with current legal questions of the EU and its politics, Eurosim also imparts rhetorical skills and competence in intercultural communication. In addition, practitioners, academics and politicians are invited to share relevant background knowledge with the participants.

3.3.3 Soft Skills The Europa-Institut offers the following courses to improve the soft skills of its students.

Language Courses (at the Europa-Institut) The Europa-Institut offers language courses in German and French at all levels. Apart from the general deepening of language skills, the courses also focus on legal terminology of the respective language.

Communication Training/ Presentation Skills In order for students to improve their rhetoric skills, the Europa-Institut offers communication trainings which are conducted by experienced communication and language consultants in both German and English. The students’ communication skills are tested under realistic (pressure) situations, recorded, and then analysed in order to identify strengths and eliminate weaknesses. The focus points of the training are:  Function of speech;  Communication styles and meta-communication;  Communication in conflict situations;  Control and use of body language;  Rhetoric in conversation, discussions and speech;  Speech techniques, breathing and voice control;  Rhetorical style tips and other aids for conversation, discussions and speech;  Rules and use of dialectics in conversation, discussions and speech.

Due to its high practical relevance, communication training is part of the basic education of the Master’s program. In 2015, it was offered in German as well as in English. The English session “Negotiation Training” was conducted by Marcus Delacor (euphorum). Typical multi and bilateral negotiation situations were practised in several role-plays. The workshop covered four decisive areas of a successful negotiation and gave the participants the opportunity to develop their individual skills as, for example, the correct preparation of a negotiation; the ability to defend positions and interest; the ability to choose the right strategy and offer trade-offs, practice persuasion skills or build networks and communicate effectively. The students’ communication skills are tested under realistic (pressure) situations, recorded, and then analysed in order to identify strengths and eliminate weaknesses.

A career in an EU institution – Training for the EPSO selection procedure Careers with the European Union On 26 May 2015 EVER, in cooperation with euphorum, prepared more than 50 students for an ongoing AD open competition of the European Personnel Selec- tion Office (EPSO). EPSO, which is in charge for selecting staff to work for the Institutions and Agencies of the European Union, was looking for 149 administrators who are typically engaged in drafting policies and implementing EU law, analysing and advising one of the EU institutions. In 2015 more than 30,000 people applied Europe-wide for the yearly AD- generalists open competition. In order to increase the chances of the students of the Europa-Institut to pass the first phase of that highly competitive selection process, during a one day workshop the students trained to successfully take all the computer based tests. Marcus Delacor, who has been analysing the EU recruitment policy for many years and successfully passed one EPSO selection procedure, acted as trainer.

Negotiating successfully In order to improve their negotiation skills, more than 50 students participated in a workshop on 26 and 27 November 2015. By several role-plays they were placed in typical bi or multilateral situations of deliberation, negotiation and bargaining. The workshop covered four key factors of successful negotiations and stimulated the development of individual skills: (1) Correct preparation & momentum targeting – to be familiar with the process; (2) defending positions and interests; (3) choosing

58 the right strategy– bargaining, convincing or networking and (4) effective communication. Video recording was also used to produce learning points and work on handy dos and don’ts. The workshop was conducted by Marcus Delacor (euphorum).

Advocacy Practice In order to give students the opportunity to practice their advocacy skills, each semester the Europa-Institut offers advocacy practice in conjunction with the CJEU Moot Court. Students are coached and supported by lecturers and research staff of the chairs. The students practice presenting their arguments and learn to give tactical thought to their presentation. They are not only being prepared for giving closing speeches in front of a court, but also for cross-examinations with the opposing party. In 2015, the students were instructed by Jean-Christophe Puf- fer-Mariette from the European Court of Justice and Sibylle Seyr from the Euro- pean Parliament.

Introduction into Academic Research In the reporting year of 2015, the Europa-Institut continued to offer an introduction into academic research with the support of research assistants from the pro- fessorial chairs and the Institute as such. Apart from studying the basics of academic research, the students also learned about the different research possibilities at the Europa-Institut, and the particular formalities when drafting a seminar and Master’s thesis.

3.4 Excursions The students at the Europa-Institut had the opportunity to participate in the following excursions:

South Tirol, 6-11 January 2015 Following the Christmas holidays, the annual seminar regarding the current case law of the European Court of Justice took place in Maria Saalen in South Tirol. Students familiarised themselves with recent case law, put it into context with older cases from the same field, and analysed the developments in each specific area. Results were presented in written submissions and oral presentations, followed by intensive discussions. Special focus was always put on the current signifi-

59 cance of each case law. In their free time, students were able to ski and hike, as well as participate in night sledding and the local sport of Broomball.

Strasbourg, 16 March 2015 During a day trip to the Alsatian capital, the students visited two of the various European institutions in Strasbourg. The first stop was the European Court of Human Rights where the students met up with a lawyer in the Chamber of ECHR. He explained to the students the workflow at the European Court of Human Rights and answered their questions. Then the students had the opportunity to visit the various sights of the city, such as the cathedral of Strasbourg, the Temple Neuf, and the beautiful historic district. Following the sightseeing tour, the students visited the Council of Europe, where they first toured the building. In the plenary hall Dr. Jörg Polakiewicz, Director of Legal Advice and Public Internatio- nal Law, who is also a lecturer at the Europa-Institut, held a speech about the work of the Council of Europe and about the everyday business of a jurisconsult in the Council of Europe.

Paris, 15-17 May 2015 From 15 until 17 May 2015, the seminar “Financial Damages Analysis” took place in Paris under the academic leadership of Prof. Dr. Stefan Weber. After an introductory lesson on 14 May in Saarbrücken, the students travelled to Paris, where they first continued with the seminar lessons. After the presentations they visited the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) where they got an introduction into the activities of the ICC. The students also visited the law-firm Eversheds, where they gained insight into the daily work of state-to-state-litigation. The second day in Paris was at the disposal of the students in order to visit the famous sights in Paris.

Berlin, 20-24 May 2015 Every year, the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin organises the “Europatag” which took place in 2014 in the premises of the Foreign Office at Werderschen Markt. Students from four different universities, which had been awarded the title of “Musterstudiengang Europawissenschaften” in 1998 by the Foreign Office, participated in the “Europatag” (universities of Saarbrücken, Berlin, Hamburg and Bonn). Following the welcome address by Julia Tschernych, the students listened to a talk about the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Furthermore, four former students of the various study programs presented on their respective field of activity and answered questions.

The trip was complemented by a visit to the WDR-Europaforum, to which important politicians such as the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, the German Federal Minister of Finance Wolfgang Schäuble, as well as the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán were invited. The Europaforum, which was broadcasted live, took place in the Foreign Office. In addition, the students visited the German Chancellery, where they were able to talk to the Federal Minister of the Saarland and head of the Federal Chan- cellery Peter Altmaier. Following the discussion, the students toured the German Chancellery. Apart from the official program, the students also had sufficient time to explore the German capital and to meet up with former students of the Europa- Institut.

Luxembourg, 30 April 2015 The excursion to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg is an inherent part of the annual program. After a tour organised by the Visitors’ Service, an introduction to the case C-215/14 “Nestlé” was provided to the students. The students were then able to watch the oral proceedings in this case in the Grande Salle d’Audience which allowed them to gain insight into the work of the Court of Jus- tice of the European Union. The oral proceeding was followed by an informative discussion about current case law and working procedures at the court with Dr. Maria Berger, Judge at the European together with Mr. Bayanov.

Brussels, 5/6 November 2015 At the beginning of each academic year, the Europa-Institut offers a two-day-trip to Brussels for the new students in order to visit the most important European institutions. During the visit to the European Commission, the students listened to an introductory talk from Gyorgy Foris, a member of the speaking team of the directorate-general of communication, as well as a speech by Dr. Manuel Keller- bauer, Dr. Gero Meeßen (both members at the Legal Service of the European Commission) and Corneliu Hoedlmayr (Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology) on the topic “Working as a lawyer in the European Commission”. In the evening, all students attended an information session on job opportunities in Brussels organised by the Alumni Association of the Europa-Institut EVER e.V. Five alumni presented on their respective areas of work and answered the students’ questions. The information session was followed by a reception, during which students had the opportunity to get in touch with other alumni of the Eu- ropa-Institut.

The following day, the students visited the European Parliament and were greeted by a member of their visitors’ service in the Paul Henri Spaak building. The Stu- dents were given an insight into the daily work at the European Parliament and had the opportunity to ask questions.

4 Cooperations of the Europa-Institut The Europa-Institut is not only well connected within the University but also via various external cooperations.

4.1 Cooperations within the University Within the University, the Europa-Institut conducts an intensive exchange with its own faculty as well as other faculties.

4.1.1 Cooperation with the Europa-Institut, Economic Department (MBA School) The Europa-Institut’s law department cooperates with the economic department of the institution, which offers the study program “European Management” that concludes with the award of the degree “Master of Business Administration” (MBA). Every year, several selected students from the law department of the Eu- ropa-Institut are able to attend certain lectures from the MBA program. After successful completion of the MBA courses, the specialization “Study Unit Euro- pean Economic Law (Track European Management)” is shown on the LL.M. certificate.

4.1.2 Cooperation with the Faculty of Law and Business As of the winter semester of 2011, the Europa-Institut introduced a special certificate “Europäisches und Internationales Recht (EIus)” for students who are en- rolled at the law faculty at Saarland University. It is the goal of the certificate to offer students an additional qualification in the areas of European and Internation- al Law. Undergraduate students are able to attend selected lectures from the Euro- pa-Institut’s LL.M. program. After successful completion of the classes, the certificate is awarded to the students. Credit points from the EIus certificate can be counted towards the required credit points in the LL.M. program after completion of the first state exam. The certificate is open to students with an outstanding grade in the exam “European Law I” (third semester) and is usually completed within four semesters. In order to receive the certificate, the students have to obtain a total of 20 credit points (calculation based on the credit point system of the Europa-Institut).

5 SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and In- ternational Law The “SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law” is a joint network of legal faculties from the Western Balkans which is financially supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Federal Min- istry of Education and Research (BMBF). The cooperation consists of the Europa- Institut of Saarland University and the legal faculties of Belgrade (Serbia), Podgori- ca (Montenegro), Tirana (Albania), Skopje (Macedonia) and Zagreb (Croatia) and the South East European Law School (SEELS with its members from Sarajevo, Zenice, Mostar, Split, Osijek and Rijeka as well as Nis and Kraguejevac). The excellence network has set itself the aim of intensifying the cooperation in teaching and research in the field of European and public international law. The excellence cluster is divided into three pillars: teaching, research and project management. With regard to teaching, eLearning modules are being planned (including a corresponding summer school), which should enable all partners to offer lectures on a variety of topics on European and public international law. Further- more, the topic of research encompasses the publication of books and a series of papers, a Graduate School with doctoral colloquia and Spring courses, research stays and a cooperation among the libraries of the respective partner faculties. The aim of the SEE | EU Cluster is a comprehensive cooperation in teaching and research in the field of European and public international law. The SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law was first launched in 2015 with an opening ceremony and an academic conference at the Europa-Institut at Saarland University. Apart from professors and employees of Saarland University and the partner faculties, also representatives of embassies and consulates of the South Eastern European partner countries, representatives of the state and representatives of several Saarland foundations attended the ceremony. Dr. Doris Pack, former Member of the European Parliament and expert for South East Europe, held a lecture on the prospect of accession of the countries from the Western Balkans to the European Union. In addition to that, an academic conference with the title “Current Research and New Challenges in European and Inter- national Law” took place which enabled professors and employees of the partner faculties to exchange ideas on various topics on European and public international law. After the successful opening of the SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence, a number of events took place such as the organisation of workshops and conferences, the publishing of papers and publications as well as the conduct of research stays of foreign guest researches. The SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence was founded in the first place to enable visiting stays of external guest researchers as well as the scientific exchange across

74 the border. In 2015, doctoral candidates from the Europa-Institut, the universities of Zagreb, Belgrade, Skopje and Tirana as well as faculty members of the Center for SEELS and two professors from the legal faculties in Belgrade and Tirana profited from the program and its scholarships. The guest researchers who stayed at the Europa-Institut used their stay to research in different areas of European and international Law. The topics covered public international law, consumer protection in European law, contract law on a Euro- pean level, Democracy and Referenda, Dispute Resolution and the UN Security Council, Comparative Law with regard to the principal of legality in criminal law and Timeshare-contracts. During their stay, the library of the Europa-Institut as well as the other university libraries were extensively used, especially since many publications available in Saarbrücken cannot be accessed at the respective home universities. In addition, the guest researchers were able to attend the lectures from the LL.M.-program and highly valued the professional discussions they were able to have with employees of the Europa-Institut. In order to support research and teaching, the book “European Law – Selected Documents Concerning South Eastern Europe” that compiles the most important documents in European Law in consideration of the south east European partner countries as well a publication series were published in the reporting year 2015. The book contains the following documents: The Treaty on the European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Treaty of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the stabilisation and association agreements of the Repub- lic of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Mace- donia, the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Serbia. The statute book should be used when implementing the various measures of the SEE | EU Clus- ter. In addition, a first publication series “SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in Eu- ropean and International Law – Series of Papers” with the title “South Eastern Europe and the European Union – Legal Aspects” was published in 2015. The series is meant to provide a forum for professors and young scientists of the partner faculties as well as the Europa-Institut and the legal faculty of Saarland Univer- sity, in which they can publish their research results regarding relevant questions on European and public international law. The first issue encompasses twelve papers from authors from Belgrade, Osijek, Rijeka, Skopje and Tirana and deals with various topics on European and public international law, in particular refugee law, company law and comparative law. The 2015 issue does not only include contributions which originated in the research stays at the Europa-Institut, but also includes revised presentations held at the opening ceremony of the Cluster. In order to support the research and scientific work from the German doctoral candidates, a workshop was organised in Belgrade/ Serbia, which is to take place in January 2016. At this workshop the doctoral candidates are provided with the opportunity to participate in two lectures held by two renowned professors about

75 the European Union’s accession and neighbourhood policy as well as international and European refugee law and the concept of a safe third country from a Serbian perspective. Furthermore, the participants will have the opportunity to exchange thoughts about their doctoral thesis as well as the research conditions at the Euro- pa-Institut. Within the framework of the SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence, not only research is being supported but also other measures, in particular the development of eLearn- ing modules as well as a Graduate School. In December 2015, a strategic meeting for the development of a Graduate School took place in Belgrade. The participants were professors and policymakers of the respective partner faculties from South East Europe, the representatives of SEELS (South East Europe Law School Network) as well as the project coordinators from the Europa-Institut. The participants were first presented with the SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence as well as its goals and measures and subsequently with the concept of the Graduate School as a method of cooperation in the supervision of doctoral candidates. The meeting in Belgrade aimed at exchanging thoughts about the various doctoral programs at the faculties as well as discussing the implementation of the Graduate School into practice. In December 2015, the first eLearning Workshop was organised at the Europa- Institut. At this workshop, the eLearning-representatives from the partner faculties came to Saarbrücken in order to study further about the different possible uses of eLearning in teaching and to further develop the contents of the respective modules. Dr. Zimmermann, an expert in this field, held various extensive lectures on this topic. Subsequently, the participants of the workshop agreed on the further steps to be taken with regard to the development of the eLearning-modules in the framework of the Cluster. After the successful start of SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law 2015, the continuance and implementation of new measures are being planned for 2016.

6 Summer Schools 6.1 SEE-LAW NET: Network Europa-Institut – SEELS Since 2012, the Europa-Institut has received financial support from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in order to organize the project “Academic Reconstruction of South-East Europe.” Since 1999, this special program by the DAAD, which is funded by the Federal Foreign Office (originally in the context of the “Stability Pact for Eastern Europe”), has contributed to a sustainable development of academic education and research, the promotion of young academics and transnational cooperation in South-East Europe. The project supports the permanent networking of students, graduates, and researchers of various universities in the region through a cooperation network, the qualification of young academics and their integration into the project and network. In doing so, the project aims at achieving a lasting improvement and internationalisation of teaching and research conditions at the partner universities in South-East Europe, which should persist even after the end of the DAAD-funding. On the Balkans, the Europa-Institut cooperates with the network SEELS (South East European Law School), an association of 13 law schools including the law faculties of Mostar, Osijek, Sarajevo, Belgrade, Nis, Kragujevac, Zagreb, Rijeka, Zenica, Skopje, Tirana, Podgorica and Split. The network was founded by the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) in 2011 and is aimed at cre- ating a cluster of excellence in the region to foster the collaboration between the faculties. In the context of the cluster, a SEE-EU Law Network is supposed to be established where researchers can deepen their knowledge about European law based on the Treaty of Lisbon. This network is also supposed to promote the academic exchange between Germany and the Balkans with regards to teaching and research. It is for this purpose that Master’s students from Germany and the Balkan region came together for a two-week-long Summer School on the “EU Opens Markets” at the Universities of Zagreb and Split in Croatia from 30 August until 12 Septem- ber 2015. Students deepened their knowledge on European law based on the re- forms brought about by the Treaty of Lisbon and learned about current developments, scientific issues and special research skills. An intensive exchange between the participants and scientific discussions were expressively encouraged. This also applied to the lecturers, who had the opportunity to teach in a team and to thereby exchange knowledge on substantive as well as methodological issues. Following last year’s project, which supported research assistants with a specialisa- tion in European law, some of the participants worked together with professors during a workshop to develop new courses with a theoretical and a practical part. The workshop and the academy promoted the dialogue between the various pro-

77 ject partners. In the future, this project should serve as a forum for permanent exchange with regard to research and teaching. The Summer School courses included not only introductory lectures about the EU-Institutions and their legislative power, which was demonstrated via a simulation of the legislative process in front of the Council of the European Union, but also several other fields of European Law. The professors and lecturers of the Europa-Institut and the SEELS-partner universities highlighted in particular the Fundamental Freedoms, Competition Law, European Private Law, and Minority Protection. Reference to current case law of the European Court of Justice was established in all classes. The lectures were rounded off with several group and research works, where the students were able to apply the acquired knowledge into practice. One of the highlights was the Moot Court, a simulated hearing about the legitimacy of the German road user charge (PKW-Maut) before the European Court of Justice. In 2016, the project SEE-EU Law Net will once again be financially supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The fourth Summer School “Graduates for Academia” is already being planned and will introduce master- students in current questions about European Law as well as promoting a PhD in this area.

6.2 European Summer Course: Mapping EU´s Current and Future Tasks The Europa-Institut, in cooperation with the ASKO Europa-Stiftung and the European Academy Otzenhausen, successfully organised the 5th European Sum- mer Course (ESC) in July 2015. During the course, 18 international students came together to learn about various aspects of European Integration. The ESC is an annual event for students from around the world who get the opportunity to learn about Europe from different perspectives in a relaxed atmosphere. A unique experience is guaranteed due to several field trips, various interactive elements, and the international mix of participants. During the twelve-day course, students from Germany, Sudan, Kasakhstan, South Korea, Kosovo and the Netherlands intensively engaged with various aspects of the European Union. First, the students attended introductory lectures concerning the history, politics, and law of the European Integration, in order to then apply this knowledge in a simulation game about the decision-making process in the EU. Later on, the students studied economic aspects of the European Union, in particular the advantages of a single market and a common currency. In addition, the participants examined the role of the European Union in the world focusing on world trade, human rights, migration issues, and climate change policies. The course was framed by the topic “European Integration”, which was the common theme of all the classes and events of the course. A highlight of the course was an excursion to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg and to the European Parliament and Commission in Brussels as they enabled the students to experience the institutions first-hand. Alongside the various lectures, workshops, and simulations, the students were also able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the European Academy Otzenhausen, play sports and make friends with people from all over the globe. The program supports an intensive knowledge exchange through a balanced mix- ture of lectures, workshops, simulations and excursions. Furthermore, the participants visited Brussels and Strasbourg in order to obtain a more profound insight

81 into the functioning of the most important European and International Institu- tions and Organisations.The students also had the opportunity to visit Trier, which is known as the oldest city in Germany. The international participants discussed the political, economic, and cultural dimension of the EU with renowned lecturers and experts, deepened their knowledge about Europe in international research groups, and broadened their intercultural understanding. Besides the ambitious academic program, students were also able to widen their network and make friends during the social activities. The ESC is an important event with which the Europa-Institut intends to introduce issues of European integration and its hurdles to an interested youth. The 6th European Summer Course is already being planned for 2016.

6.3 Winter School in European Integration: Democracy and Hu- man Rights in the European Union The Winter School “Democracy and Human Rights in the European Union” took place from 11 to 20 January 2015 at the Europa-Institut. The Winter School was supported within the frame of the support program “Reinforcement of the cooperation with civil societies of Ukraine, Republic of Moldova, Georgia and Belarus”, supported by the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD as well as the German Federal Foreign Office.

During this ten-day event, 35 researchers from the Ukraine, Republic of Moldova, Georgia and Belarus engaged with the basics of the European Union, the regional human rights protection, the work of the various institutions, the most important principles of European Law, as well as the European Neighbourhood and En- largement Policy. Daily lectures, interactive workshops, and simulations were part of the program. The participants were actively involved through group work and were able to use the library of the Europa-Institut for research that went beyond the activities of the Winter School program itself. In order to facilitate this research, a detailed introduction to the available resources, such as databases on European law, was provided. Furthermore, participants had the chance to visit the institutions in Strasbourg (European Court of Human Rights and European Council) and Luxembourg (Court of Justice of the European Union). The application process for the Winter School was very successful. The Europa- Institut received almost 370 applications, from which the most qualified applicants were chosen. Eleven of the participants held a Master’s degree, fifteen were PhD students, and nine already had a doctoral degree and were both lecturers at universities and experts in their field in their respective home countries. There were five participants from Belarus, six from the Republic of Moldova, and twelve participants each from the Ukraine and Georgia. The project serves as a stimulus for additional projects of its kind and is, in the long term, directed at the creation of an academic network of European integration which coordinates and supports related activities via a joint institution across country borders. It further promotes the mobility of its participants and enables a transnational exchange of experiences.

6.4 Seminar “European Legal Institutions” in cooperation with the Washington and Lee University In cooperation with the Washington and Lee University, the Europa-Institut held a one week seminar for students from both universities. The aim of the seminar was to reveal the significance of institutional design and practice—as part of a contextual analysis—for proper work in comparative constitutional law. Therefore, the responsbile professors, Prof. Dr. Thomas Giegerich and Prof. Dr. Russell Miller aimed to achieve the best possible learning effect for the German- American group. The structure of the tutorial was a combination of theoretical teaching of the basic legal systems as well as group discussions, in which the students could compare the differences and contrasts of the German and the Ameri- can legal systems. The students had the opportunity to visit the German Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The visits also involved seminar-style discussions of assigned readings with law clerks and judicial assistants presently working at the courts.

6.5 EU China Summer School The Europa-Institut of Saarland University, the European Centre of Economic and Financial Law (ECEFIL) of the Panteion University of Athens, Greece and the Centre International de Formation Européenne (CIFE) jointly organised the Summer School 2014 “China and Europe as Partners – Law, Politics, Economics” that took place on the island of Spetses close to the Greek capital Athens. All courses were held in English by professors from the Europa-Institut, the Eu- ropean Centre of Economic and Financial Law of the Panteion University of Ath- ens, the Centre International de Formation Européenne, the Law School of the National University of Athens and the Institute of European Politics in Berlin. The Professors focused their lectures on their respective field of specialization, included their practical experience in the classes and discussed various topics with the students. As the name of the Summer School indicates, its purpose was to present to the students a number of lectures on the current affairs within the European Union. The interdisciplinary schedule was focused on legal, political and economic aspects of the EU as well as the relationship between the European Union and China, which has gained increasing importance over the last few decades. The students had the opportunity to visit Athens as well as have excursions to Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidavros.

6.6 Summer Schools in International Commercial Law and Inter- national Protection of Human Rights Since 2014, the Europa-Institut has offered a summer school in International Commercial Law and International Protection of Human Rights in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Iris Canor from the College of Management in Tel Aviv as well as the ASKO Europa-Stiftung and the European Academy Otzenhausen. Professor Canor and several Israeli students came to Otzenhausen to learn about various aspects of International Law. Besides numerous lectures, simulations and speeches, the participants had the opportunity to visit several European cities. This year the students visited institution in Strasbourg and Brussels as well as the oldest city of Germany, Trier.

7 Library of the Europa-Institut 7.1 Library Report The library was founded in 1951 at the same time as the Europa-Institut. It is a special legal library focused on European and Public International Law and is used primarily by students and employees of the Europa-Institut but also serves all researchers of Saarland University as well as the general public. The library’s comprehensive stock of literature includes the latest versions of legal documents and is aligned with the research needs of the employees of the Europa- Institut and the content of the various lectures of the Master’s program with its study units European Integration, European Economic Law, Foreign Trade and Investment, International Dispute Resolution, International and European Protec- tion of Human Rights, International Law and International Economic Law.

7.1.1 Library Stock The library of the Europa-Institut currently consists of almost 57.000 volumes, 180 periodicals and 40 continuance works, which are placed in friendly and mod- ern rooms. The publicly available print stock consists of specialised books, loose- leaf collections, reference works, dictionaries, journals, seminar papers and Mas- ter’s theses, which are stocked systematically and can be found via the online- catalogue of Saarland University and the State Library. The majority of the library’s stock is in German, however the English stock has risen disproportionately over the last couple of years. There are also increasingly available publications in other languages of the European Union, particularly in the languages of the new member states. Apart from classic sources of information, the library also offers free access to many E-books and more than 10.000 E-journals, which can be accessed via the online catalogue from all around campus. Furthermore, the users can make use of the most important electronic legal sources of information, online bibliographies, union and meta-catalogues and data banks. These encompass in particular Lex- isNexis, Westlaw, Beck, Juris and Kluwer Arbitration Law, which are partly fi- nanced by the Europa-Institut. Apart from these campus-wide offers, the library also offers access to various E-Journals (EWS) and data banks (e.g. HeinOnline, Dante) to staff and members of the Europa-Institut only. In collaboration with both chairs, the library was able to win new exchange partners for the institution’s own series of scripts and the journal ZEuS. In addition, the library exchanges its stock Germany-wide via the platform ELTAB.

In 2015, the library’s stock increased by 1.182 volumes:

7.1.2 Service In the reporting year 2015, library tours were regularly offered in German and English. Apart from these introductory tours, the students also received an introduction into scientific work, the composition of a scientific paper, and literature research in the electronic catalogue and data banks in English. Specialised literature research seminars, focused on the various study units of the Master’s program, were also offered. To offer and maintain a high standard of academic research, the library staff members support, with their function as research assistants, the Euro-

96 pa-Institut, its students and the increasing number of visiting scientists in their work. Due to the wide-spread network and the big offer of data banks, our library provides intensive aid to the visiting scientists, who are coming from all over Eu- rope with their research.

7.1.3 Equipment There are three rooms for group work on the library premises with a total of 25 workspaces. During the opening hours of the library, the students are able to use them to work in a team. The rooms are located within the library itself, so that students are able to research and use the other offers of the library at the same time. Since the rooms can be closed, other library users are not disturbed by con- versations. All rooms are equipped with a whiteboard or a flipchart. There are 16 computers in the CIP-Pool and within the library building which can be used for online research. Students and guests can also reserve one of the 40 study spaces in the two reading rooms of the library if they are looking for an undisturbed work space. All study spaces can be used by students during the opening hours of the library. Furthermore, the library is equipped with a small and separated lounge-area. Since the purchase of mobile filing pedestals, the visiting scientists have the possibility to arrange their personal workplace in our library. Finally, the students are able to use two photocopiers/ printers, one of which has the capacity to copy/ print in colour. Since 2013, the photocopying and printing costs are charged via the UdS-card. The library is further equipped with a vending machine that sells earplugs.

7.1.4 Tasks The head librarian is responsible for the development and definition of the inventory (selection and acquisition of journals, monographs, data banks, E-journals and E-books) and the coordination of acquisitions with both departments. She is supported by the ordering commission, which consists of research assistants of the respective chairs of the Europa-Institut and the head librarian herself. In addition to publications acquired from the local bookstores, publishing companies and academic mail-order bookshops, a number of publications were also received as gifts from lecturers, professors and private donors as well as via exchange agreements with other libraries. The Alumni Association of the Europa- Institut EVER e.V. also contributed to the library’s collection with a generous donation. Additional fields of duty are the inventory, subject indexing (systematic ordering within the library itself as well as content indexing based on RSWK for the online

97 catalogue), cataloguing, and further editing of the new acquisitions. The literature inventory on public international law was partly reorganized and duplicates and old editions were removed from the library’s collection. The library’s own special cataloguing system was edited and updated. The new English index is being regularly updated in parallel with the German index. The shelves of the library are labelled in German and English. The administration of journals and all the organisational and administrational tasks within the library, such as the planning and organisation of workflow and staff roster, the training of new employees, the statistical evaluation of the occupancy of the library, as well as the annual evaluation by the students, is also managed by the library staff. Furthermore, the library of the institute is in cooperation with the professorships (Lehrstühle), other libraries of the campus and is nationally and internationally very well connected. The library of the Europa-Institut is, in general, a non-lending library. In spite of that, employees of the Institute and other institutions have the opportunity to borrow books via “Dienstausleihe”, which means that the books can be used in the employee offices at the Europa-Institut. Students are also able to borrow books that they need urgently over the weekend when the library is closed. The library was open 62 hours per week but reduced opening hours only in September (45 hours, closed on Saturdays). This is supplemented by information desk duties for general and more specific questions from students as well as for professional research help in the data banks and catalogues. Since 2014, the library also participated in interlibrary loan programs and ex- changed publications and duplicates of the Europa-Institut’s stock with 20 established exchange partners and via the internet platform ELTAB. Furthermore, regular newsletters with information regarding new acquisitions of monographs, E-books, data banks and journals were sent to the employees of the Europa-Institut. This also included the compilation of the table of contents of the latest journals, which were sent to the employees of the Europa-Institut on a weekly basis. In addition, the new acquisitions section in the library was newly assembled every other week. The new acquisitions could also be accessed online via the catalogue. The newly acquired E-books were included with placeholders in the new acquisitions section in the library and were later sorted in their respective places in the library so that students are still able to browse through the collections as an alternative to a search in the online catalogue. The placeholder has a QR-Code so that

98 the user can directly download the E-book on an electronic device after scanning the code. The maintenance and updating of the homepages of the library and the European Documentation Centre and of the publication lists of lecturers and professors of the Europa-Institut also fall within the duties of the library employees. Furthermore, the employees of the library researched and obtained material for the various lectures of the Europa-Institut and gave this information out to the students. The library also provided for a small exhibition of relevant literature for the respective lectures. The library of the Europa-Institut is a member of the “Deutschen Biblio- theksverband/ Arbeitskreis Spezialbibliotheken” and of the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft für juristisches Bibliotheks- und Dokumentationswesen.” In addition, the head librarian is on the management board of the Saarland “BIB-Landesverband”, a member of the commission for One-Person Libraries, and a member of the Stand- ing Committee of the Library Services to Multicultural Populations Section, a section of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).

7.2 European Documentation Centre (Europe Direct) Since 1972, the library has been one of 40 European Documentation Centres (EDC) in Germany and belongs to a European network (Europe Direct) of information facilities, which were founded in 1963 by the European Commission within the scope of its information and communal politics. It is the aim of the EDC at the Europa-Institut to make information about the European Union and its politics available to students, university staff and the general public, to support the research and teaching about “European Integration”, and to generally inform about the European Union itself. The centre collects, systemizes, and catalogues the official publications of the Eu- ropean Union (official journal of the European Union, documents of the Europe- an Commission, jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice). Additionally, free access to a number of EU data banks and an increasing number of electronic documents are offered. Since 2013, the data bank ESO (European Sources Online) can be accessed free of charge by all interested persons. Another field of duty of the centre is research and research support, as well as trainings on literature and information in the data banks of European institutions. The EDC Saarbrücken is responsible for the archiving of electronic texts (in particular studies and working papers) of the DG Competition in the context of Ar- chiDok, a joint project of the European Documentation Centres (founded in 2003).

The head librarian is regularly trained on the latest developments in the EU and its information policy, transparency, and access to documents by the European Commission in Brussels and by the regional representation office in Germany. Together with the Jean-Monnet-Chair, the EDC organised a workshop with the title “Europa verstehen” (Understanding Europe). It is a special offer for the pu- pils of several secondary schools in Saarland. The workshop took place during the “Europawoche” (European Week) 2015 at the Europa-Institut which was a great success and will be offered again in 2016. The European Documentation Centre is not only active within the European network Europe Direct, but also in the regional network “Communicating Euro- pean Policy”, and the European regulars’ table of the Saarland, which was founded in 2012.

10 Alumni Association of the Europa-Institut The Alumni Association of the Europa-Institut (law department) – EVER e.V. was founded in 1996 by then current and former students of the Europa-Institut (law department). EVER aims at maintaining and advancing contact between former students of the Europa-Institut, as well as involving current students of each year in their events. Via numerous events, a network of alumni is being established which allows for information exchange beyond the duration of the program. Furthermore, regular meetings between current students and alumni, as well as guest lectures are organised in various European cities. EVER also informs alumni about the latest developments and upcoming events at the Europa-Institut. Members of EVER profit from the extensive experience and engagement of the association and can take advantage of the always growing offer and international network in order to ad- vance their professional careers. In 2015, EVER was able to fund one scholarship within the context of the Ger- many Scholarship (Deutschlandstipendium) for a current student of the Europa- Institut. Since summer semester of 2011, the Germany Scholarship has provided financial support for young academics with exceptional achievements in their studies in the amount of 300 Euro per month. Half of this monthly budget is provided by the federal government, the other half by EVER as a private sponsor. This enables students to either generally finance their studies at the Europa-Institut or to financially support themselves while they write their Master’s thesis at the Eu- ropa-Institut. The second scholarship was made possible through a generous donation by an alumnus. Apart from that, EVER also helped acquire specialised literature for the library of the Europa-Institut. This donation was particularly important considering the increasing costs of important specialised literature in English language. It also funded the purchase of practical see-through library bags for the students and contributed to the printing costs for the series “Selected legal documents” that is published by the Europa-Institut. Furthermore, EVER financially supported the event which was held at the Euro- pa-Institut in order to prepare for the EPSO-Concours. Finally, the extensive work to create a new members’ book was successfully finished in 2015. Last but not least, EVER and the Europa-Institut jointly and successfully applied for a Call of the DAAD (the German Academic Exchange Service) and are going to receive financial support to hold a several day-long alumni advanced training seminar which is going to take place in 2016.

10.1 EVER Job and Internship Pool The EVER job and internship pool supports current students and alumni in find- ing their first job or when professional change is sought. EVER already offers students at the Europa-Institut access to a job and internship pool during their studies. This pool includes job and internship offers that are constantly updated and tailored to the particular requirements of the students at the Europa-Institut. Most job opportunities are forwarded to EVER by alumni. The offers are published both in German and English on the homepage of the Europa-Institut under the section for the Alumni Association. Apart from job placement, EVER also consults with students on their professional development and gives tips during the job application process. This is supplemented by scholarship and workshop announcements as well as events, during which current students can get in touch with alumni and have re- cruiting meetings with representatives of large law firms.
