Welcome to UACES

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe had immediate and dramatic effects for European integration. While much of the attention has focused on high-level crisis responses of the European Union (EU) such as the adoption of a recovery fund, the more profound changes to the EU regulatory state went largely unnoticed.

The unprecedented fiscal package adopted by the European Council in the summer of 2020 ―dubbed Next Generation EU―is vital for the recovery of the euro area from the pandemic shock.
