We are proud to announce that Vasil Stoynov, a graduate of our 2015/16 class, has published his analysis of direct effect of EU bi- and multilateral trade agreements in the winter edition of the Amsterdam Law Forum. The article can be found here.

The article, first conceived as an MBL research paper, carefully traces the doctrine of direct effects, from its beginnings in van Gend and Loos to its application in several multilateral agreements such as TTIP. It is great to see such a brilliant paper reach an audience beyond the MBL programme. Congratulations!
