Keywords: European Union; Cohesion; Europeanization; Regionalism; Regional Disparities; Integrated Territorial Investments
Bulgaria's fifteen-year experience in the EU shows that our country achieves slower cohesion than other member-states from Central and Eastern Europe, and besides between less and more developed regions, internally. With the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a new threat for deepening the regional disparities in Bulgaria, and complementary expanding the gap in the quality of health care and access to education of children from vulnerable groups between regions of Bulgaria. Today, the European Union faces other challenges such as external hybrid attacks, BREXIT, refugee flows, and humanitarian emergencies from the military conflicts in the Middle East and most recently from the invasion of Russia in Ukraine. To address these issues in 2020, in addition to the existing European opportunities, the member-states have created two new funds, and one instrument for the management of migration, visa regime, and internal security of the EU. Further, they have allocated funds from the current Multiannual financial framework and the "Next Generation EU" package to provide financing for the new instrument REACT-EU to overcome the negative impact of the consequences of COVID-19. Bulgaria seeks to use these financial opportunities by implementing a new Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI) approach to reduce the regional inequalities in access to quality public services and economic opportunities for the population living in the less developed regions. The current report evaluates the subject of COVID-19 concerning the upcoming regionalization of the European programs in Bulgaria and their effectiveness in diminishing the negative consequences of the pandemic in Bulgarian regions.

Keywords: EU; Pandemic; Tourism; Governments Response; Recovery Measures
Both in Europe and worldwide, the tourism industry has been hardly hit by the more than two-year COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions on free movement, which are at the heart of tourism, have led to an unprecedented collapse in reservations, travellers, revenues and the entire economy. According to various estimates, the collapse is between 70 and 90% worldwide during the pandemic, tens of thousands of museums and other public spaces have been closed, and the World Tourism Organization predicts that between 10 and 20% of them will never reopen. During the pandemic, various measures have been taken at EU level to complement and coordinate national measures for tackling this disease, but also to push forward the fast recovery of the economy and tourism, in particular. Resolutions and recommendations were adopted at the level of individual institutions, many rules for redirecting financial flows to small and medium-sized businesses and all affected companies were changed. Undoubtedly, the largest financial and political instrument that the EU has created is the Recovery Plan with a total value of 750 billion euros. In the field of tourism in particular, a number of regulations related to the protection of passengers' rights have been changed, as well as a number of reliefs for airlines, sea, bus and rail carriers. Beyond any doubt, the pandemic has been one of the strongest challenge of solidarity and the EU's ability to react quickly since decades. Has the EU succeeded in implementing timely measures at European level and to what extent will they help to rebuild the tourism industry? We can answer part of this question right now, the rest we have yet to see.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the perspectives of societies by transitioning to a new reality often defined as the “new normal”. It is evident that the return of societies and economies to the situation before the pandemic will not happen. Moreover, the digitalization processes are permanently established, and they have significantly accelerated the restructuring of economic sectors as the digitalization level in Southeast Asian countries is significantly higher from those in the other parts of the world. During the pandemic trade in goods and services is not an exception from the whole situation. The expectations for the post-pandemic world are that all those digitalization trends will continue. Moreover, the transition to high-tech manufacturing led to electronic chip shortage and production delays. In parallel, the pandemic closed the borders that is only typical for a war and movement of goods and services was blocked for the first time after WW2. The countries started encouraging the domestic production of goods and delivering services in order to prevent another closure of borders. That resulted in an increase of protectionism by implementing primarily non-tariff measures. The purpose of the paper is to present the main regulations and restrictions in EU trade during the pandemic and to present the expectations after the pandemic. The specific tasks of the paper are related to two main issues: i) Comparison of restrictions and regulations in trade of EU Member States with third countries before and during the pandemic; ii) Present the expected consequences in trade after the coronavirus pandemic is over.
