I actually thought the paper was easy. I did the Commission question which was straight forward, as was the question on citizenship. The question on state aid was also...it was a very relevant question considering the recent guarantee schemes etc. Question 7 on Article 81 was the easiest. It was based verbatim on the case Irish competition authority v BIDS. He was testing whether we were up to date on our caselaw...The last question i did was on the case notes...[Zhu & Chen], [Laval un] but i actually forgot the facts in [van gend en loos] I couldn't believe it, but as soon i was finished i remembered. I could remember the judgment though "new legal order" and all that!!!
