"Do Competition Rules Apply to the Agricultural Sector 

in the European Union?"

Patricia Lamo de Espinosa Rocamora, Spanish Ombusdman's office

 

Summary:

 

Fair and undistorted competition is a cornerstone of a market economy in the European Union. The European Commission was vested with the powers necessary to oversee and enforce EU competition law to ensure effective competition in the internal market.

European law regulates the internal market in the antitrust area through some prohibition rules set for in the Treaty on Functioning of the European Union.

The Treaty also establishes a common policy in the sphere of agriculture and fisheries. In order to implement the objectives of this agriculture policy, the Treaty establishes the predominance of agriculture rules over competition.

"English Deism in the Early Enlightenment"

Maria Lara Martínez, UNED

 

 

Summary:

 

Deism is a philosophical and religious belief that a Supreme Being created the universe, and that this can be determined using reason, without a need for either faith. Contrary to Jewish, Christian, Islamic and other theistic religions, Deists tend to reject the divine interventions in human affairs. Deism became prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries during the Enlightenment in the United Kingdom, France, Ireland and United States.

 

In this lecture, we will explain the life and the thought of the freethinkers, an epithet applied to the English Deists of the 17th and 18th centuries who argued for natural as contrasted to revealed religion. John Toland (Christianity Not Mysterious: A Treatise Shewing, That there is nothing in the Gospel Contrary to Reason, Nor Above It: And that no Christian Doctrine can be properly called A Mystery, 1696), Anthony Collins (Discourse of Free-thinking, 1713), and Matthew Tindal (Christianity as Old as the Creation, 1730) are among the key early freethinkers.

"Comparative Political Campaign Strategy: USA and Spain"

Eduardo Baeza, Universidad San Pablo CEU (Spain),

Summary: 

There are over 500,000 elected officials in the United States. Each one of them has run a winning campaign at any given level. Campaign management in the US has become highly professionalized, with the usage of sophisticated messaging and targeting tools that help the candidate deliver a more effective message to voters. This practical lecture will focus on the key methods used by US campaigners that can later be adapted to the peculiarities of the Spanish electoral system.
