PhD Defense: Amalie Toft Bentsen

In order to obtain the PhD degree, Amalie Toft Bentsen has submitted her thesis entitled:

The Internal Market & the EU Climate Regime: Interactions and frictions in the legal norm system

The overriding aim of this thesis is to contribute to a legal norm understanding of the EU climate regime within the internal market. The internal market has a much more widespread and well-established legal basis than the EU climate regime. However, with the entry of the EU climate regime, there has been a slight tremor in the foundation, as the EU climate regime impacts the norms of the internal market. Therefore, the current state of law is analyzed to determine the interaction between the legal norm system of the EU climate regime and the legal norm system of the internal market. The thesis focuses on the frictions between the principles of the two legal norm systems, and it aims to understand the norm difficulties in these frictions. Accordingly, the thesis functions as a critical analysis of the legal norm systems herein and contributes to the knowledge within the legal measures and the current legal norm situation in EU law.

The thesis will be available from research.cbs.dk
