Summary/Abstract: The COVID – 19 pandemic has generated an unprecedented sanitary and economic crisis at global level. At European level, in order to fight the effects,a rapid response, common actions and European solidarity are needed.Furthermore, EU member states are in danger of losing the results obtained by now related to economic and social cohesion, and the mitigation of disparities among regions. European solidarity, the enactment of common decisions, the simplification of rules and procedures, and the allocation of supplementary funds in order to minimise the effects generated by this pandemic are essential, but, to an equal extent, the ability of member states to react to this crisis is crucial.
