The Social and Territorial Dimension of the Recovery and Resilience Facility Innovative Solutions and its Constraints
One of the most important financial instruments for recovery from the pandemic crisis is the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RFF), which replaces austerity-oriented conditionality introducing a demand-driven and results-oriented framework, with access to support conditional on forward-looking reforms and investment plans. All this contributes to the renewal of European economic governance, which in the post-pandemic period relies heavily on the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) and the general objectives of the RFF. Based on an analysis of the relevant literature, EU documents and databases, the study argues that the interconnection of the EPSR and RRF governance architectures has created an opportunity to strengthen the socialisation and territorialisation of European economic governance, at the same time the effectiveness of implementation is influenced by several factors, above all, the diversity of social policy and regional development practices represented by Member States, the differing domestic priorities of recovery strategies, and the unclear relationship between the RFF and cohesion policy.

The concept of sustainability is expressly or indirectly embedded in the primary law of the European Union, as analysed in the Treaty on European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The novel contribution of this research is that it illustrates how these documents have, in many cases, been conceived as aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), thereby situating the EU’s constitutional framework as an SDG-compliant normative framework. Whereas ideas of sustainability have typically been construed as limited to environmental protection, this research employs a broader conceptualisation, manifesting it comprehensively across environmental, economic, social and financial dimensions, including fiscal sustainability, macroeconomic stability and resource governance. Through an analysis of key CJEU case law, it demonstrates how judicial interpretation through adjudication operationalises the sustainability objectives enshrined in treaties and exposes the tensions between the freedom of the market and environmental or societal aims. The analysis demonstrates that sustainability has moved from a stated and aspirational principle to a structuring feature of EU integration, but there continues to be an ambition that grounds limitations. The EU’s sustainability concept requires a climate-specific treaty provision, a horizontal sustainability compliance mechanism, and the elevation of environmental and intergenerational protection to fully justiciable rights.

Employing a mixed-quantitative analysis, data were sourced from the Financial Transparency System of the European Commission. The focus is on twenty-five key EU programmes, including Horizon, LIFE, Digital Europe Programme (DEP), EU4Health, European Defence Fund (EDF), Euratom, Military Mobility, Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), Erasmus+, Creative, Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV), Innovation Fund, Single Market Programme. The study reveals that 20 years after their accession to the EU, the V4 countries still receive one third of the EU average in direct EU funding. In absolute terms, their share has been 4.86% over the last three years, while their population represents 13.98% of the EU population. This means that the existing distribution of directly managed EU funds reinforces regional and national disparities and does not promote cohesion. Given the fact that the share, the number and scope of directly managed EU funds are steadily increasing and the share of the Cohesion Fund, which is jointly managed by the Commission and the Member States, is expected to decrease in the future, mainstreaming cohesion in the programming of EU direct funds will be crucial.

The European Union has committed to becoming climate-neutral by 2050. To achieve this, it must reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, which can be accomplished, for example, by introducing renewable energy sources and developing greener technologies. In addition, greenhouse gases can be removed from the atmosphere through natural systems (such as forest conservation and afforestation) and carbon capture technologies. Therefore, in addition to reducing emissions, it will be necessary to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Regarding technologies for carbon capture and storage, legislative processes have accelerated in EU policy. The European Union’s carbon management strategy is a new policy and legislative framework adopted in 2024 that aims to establish infrastructure for carbon capture, transport, utilization, and storage. The Net-Zero Industry Regulation aims to strengthen the competitiveness of EU industry by promoting the technologies necessary to achieve climate neutrality goals. The regulation recognizes carbon capture and storage as a net-zero technology. As technologies evolve rapidly, the regulatory environment must keep pace and also leave room for further developments.
" ["hu_HU"]=> string(1778) "Az Európai Unió vállalta, hogy 2050-re klímasemlegessé válik. Ehhez csökkenteni kell a légkörbe bocsátott üvegházhatású gázok mennyiségét, amit például megújuló energiaforrások bevezetésével, zöldebb technológiák kifejlesztésével érhet el. Emellett a légkörből kivonhatók az üvegházhatást okozó gázok, például természetes rendszerek (erdők megőrzésével és telepítésével) és szénmegkötő technológiák segítségével. Az emissziócsökkentés kiegészítéseként tehát szükség lesz a szén-dioxid légkörből való eltávolítására. A szén-dioxid leválasztását és tárolását biztosító technológiákat illetően az uniós politikában felgyorsultak a jogalkotási folyamatok. Az Európai Unió szén-dioxid-gazdálkodási stratégiája egy új, 2024-ben elfogadott szakpolitikai és jogalkotási keret, amely célul tűzi ki szén-dioxid-leválasztási, -szállítási, -hasznosítási és -tárolási infrastruktúra kiépítését. A Nettó zéró iparról szóló rendelet megalkotásának célja, hogy megerősítse az EU iparának versenyképességét a klímasemlegességi célokhoz szükséges technológiák ösztönzésével. A rendelet nettó zéró technológiaként ismeri el a szén-dioxid-leválasztást és -tárolást is. A technológiák gyors fejlődésével a szabályozási környezetnek lépést kell tartania, továbbá teret kell hagynia a további fejlesztéseknek is.
