Political and Legal Aspects of Launching the Post-COVID-19 Recovery Package for Poland in Light of EU Institutional Documents (2019–2024)

Summary/Abstract: The idea of establishing a separate fund within the EU arose during the COVID-19 crisis. It was assumed that after the temporary closure of key economic sectors, an additional flow of money would be needed to stimulate economic activity again. This instrument was to be RRF, described as the main pillar of the Next Generation EU strategy. The text falls within the field of research on the EU legal system and international relations. The aim of the article is to present the RRF legalization process at the level of EU institutions and to analyze their most important documents, including those required at the national level and processed by EU institutions, enabling the blocking of funds during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Until now, there has been no such important, synthetic evaluation. An answer was obtained to the question of whether the suspension of payments to Poland from the RRF was in line with the previously established criteria and the expressed will of all leaders of the member states and other EU institutions, and whether it was sufficiently clearly formulated and recorded in documents. A chronological-descriptive and analytical-problem-based method was used.
