Legal measures taken by the EU to restore the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The challenges of the CoVID-19 pandemic, which pose a threat to the global economy and society, as well as transport and its infrastructure, have been studied. The purpose of the study is to determine the current state of the European Union as a unique and one-of-a-kind integration association and to answer the question of what damage was caused to the European Union by the pandemic that began in 2020 and continues to this day. Statistical data proving the negative impact of COVID-19 and the measures taken by the European Union to overcome the crisis caused by the rapid spread of the coronavirus infection have been analyzed. Special attention has been paid to the consideration of the measures taken at the legislative level. The EU institutions have sufficient power, considering political and economic processes, to develop and adopt international legal acts capable of reviving the economy. According to the founding treaties, the EU members are obliged to comply with the provisions of newly adopted international legal acts. There is a directly proportional relationship between transport and its infrastructure development and the growth of the states’ economy. The legal acts developed to support the EU economy and each of the member states, as well as the transport industry, have been analyzed. General scientific and special research methods were used.
