The aim of the article is to present the most important elements to be implemented in the European Union energy policy in the 2030 perspective in the context of sustainable development of the Member States. The solution to the too high emissivity of individual economies in the European Union is the energy mix, which will establish a compromise in the so-called the triad of EU policy goals. This is undoubtedly a current climate challenge for the modern world, which also has a direct impact on the economic situation of EU countries. The basis of the presented considerations and recommendations is a literature review on the subject and a statistical analysis of empirical data of the largest statistical organizations in the EU and the world. The starting point for the analysis is the assessment of the state of the energy sector in the EU. Therefore, the goals and tasks until 2030 result from many conditions of the energy sector. The article provides recommendations for the EU on future climate and energy policy, analysing the practices of member countries empirical and data compiled by the world’s largest organizations and institutions, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the World Nuclear Association (WNA), Eurostat, and the International Energy Agency (IEA). The strategic goals of the EU climate and energy policy presented in the study show the necessary challenges for the implementation of sustainable development in the analyzed sector, which is the driving force of world economies. The conclusions were presented in accordance with the current economic efficiency of various energy sources and the necessity to seek a compromise among the so-called a triad of goals defined in EU policy.

AbstractThe article focuses on the EU Sustainability Strategy of 2001, which was reviewed in 2005; and its elements and implementation concerning energy policy and climate protection. The examination of the general part of the EU Sustainability Strategy shows that it lacks both a mission statement and a clear conceptual approach, thus making it difficult to achieve a steering effect. Those parts of the strategy that deal with climate protection show a strong sense of urgency and a great commitment to the EU objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But the - manifold! - measures taken are still too weak. More determination and more effort is necessary to change patterns of thought and behaviour, and it seems that this is a direct consequence of neglecting the necessity of defining a mission statement and a conceptual approach.

AbstractThe policy of renewable energy sources has gained more importance over recent years. The European Union is facing serious challenges regarding greenhouse gas emissions and energy sustainability, followed by the supply security, import dependence and competitiveness as well as the effective implementation of the internal energy market. The energy policy of the European Union is the most effective response to the new situation the member states of the European Union are facing. The EU energy policy aims to cause a new industrial revolution and the growth of the economic energy efficiency with low emissions of carbon dioxide. In order to achieve this, targets have been set for the future. Among them is the increase in the share of production and consumption of renewable energy in the total energy balance.

The modern world depends on energy, the consumption of which is increasing, while the use of resources is becoming more and more intensive. It should be noted that imperialist Russia makes excellent use of this opportunity, which is reflected in the expansion and strengthening of its sphere of political influence. As we know, all states hold energy policies based on national-strategic values and define national aspirations and priorities. Russia has a big amount of energy resources, which it uses quite purposefully. The main tool of the Kremlin’s expansionist policy is energy policy, which opposes European integration and increases its own role in the international arena. Despite the fundamental radical differences between the democratic West and undemocratic Russia, they still manage to find common preventive-cooperative relations in terms of energy policy. A clear example of this is the energy relations between Russia and Germany, which are complex and perennial. The Nord Stream 2 is a project of global importance that explicitly increases the EU’s energy dependence on Russia, which may not prove as beneficial to the Brussels side as it may do to the Moscow side. Both Putin and his governance system are using their country’s resources and geopolitics “dishonestly” to exercise considerable influence on political space around them, serving the national interests of Russia. Therefore, in the eyes of the developed West, Russia is perceived as an aggressor and an undemocratic country, which creates a negative political landscape for both the European Union and the international political arena. That is why such maneuvering of Russia is not positively understood by any of the powerful states of the world, as this very project is found to be an integral part of world politics. The United States also supports this view. The Nord Stream 2, followed by Brexit, is the first international project and it is literally a dynamic action on how the energy relations between the EU and Russia can be continued. At the current stage, Germany’s political actions are more profitable and productive for Russia than for the EU, since this case carries the potential for the energy sector of the two parties to become more integrated.

The paper analyses the provisions of the Commercial Code of Ukraine, comparing them with certain provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine and separate laws and other regulations. Considering the need to align Ukrainian legislation with the legislation of the European Union countries in legislation regarding the establishment and operation of partnerships, corporate governance, protection of shareholders, creditors and other interested parties, regarding the further development of corporate governance policy in accordance with international standards, including the gradual approximation to the rules and recommendations of the European Union in this area, it is concluded that it is advisable to abolish the Commercial Code of Ukraine by adopting the relevant law, which stipulates all necessary measures to ensure proper legal regulation of relations for the period of preparation of the relevant systemic changes to the Civil Code of Ukraine. It is proved that most of the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine are reference or blanket, and therefore have minimal regulatory impact and mostly duplicate the provisions enshrined in other regulations. Based on the analysis of the provisions of the Commercial Code of Ukraine, it is concluded that its provisions, given their minimal regulatory impact on business relations and considering the detailed regulation of these relations in the Civil Code of Ukraine, can be repealed without any reservations. In such settings and in order to simplify the legal regulation of business activity, as well as in view of the obligations of our country (in particular, to bring the Ukrainian legislation in conformity with the legislation of the EU countries in legislation regarding the establishment and activity of partnerships, corporate governance, protection of rights of shareholders, creditors, and other stakeholders, regarding further development of corporate governance policy in line with international standards, as well as the progressive approximation to EU rules and recommendations in this area), the expediency of abolishing the Commercial Code of Ukraine is beyond doubt

The article considers main questions regarding implementation and adaptation of the European Union program called «European Green Deal» in Ukrainian agribusiness. The article analyzes factors, risks and challenges that arise as a result of the implementation of the «green deal» to Ukrainian farmers. The European experience of the program implementation as a part of agricultural sector is studied. Prospects for Ukraine to obtain direct access to the «green economy» and become a climate-neutral country in the agricultural sector are outlined. At this stage, Ukrainian diplomacy is negotiating with the European Union within the framework of the «green deal» and is ready to cooperate as a guarantor of the implementation of this program for the agribusiness. The most important thing is to build synergies between the agricultural sector and all the authorities that are involved, in order to adapt the European course in Ukraine. The aim of the article is to deepen the theoretical and methodological approaches to the development of mechanisms that ensure the transition of the domestic agricultural sector to the model of the European «green deal». Our research shows that against a background of the economic and coronavirus crisis, the European Green Deal (EGD) is still the unifying element that will increase the resilience of a vulnerable world. It is related not only to the climate policy but also to a green concept of modernizing the economy and economic growth in order to ensure human life being in harmony with the planet and its resources. Given a wide range of areas covered by the course, it will have a significant impact on our trade and economic cooperation with the EU. In 2020, Ukraine has already started internal discussions with businesses regarding the European Green Deal (EGD). Agricultural initiatives and the transition to a sustainable EU food system are likely to increase agricultural and food demand, which could be an additional trade barrier and cause negative affect on Ukrainian exports. However, the promotion of organic products in the EU will create new market opportunities for manufacturer.

The approach to analysing population ageing and its impacts on the economy has evolved in recent years. There is increasing interest in the development and use of products and services related to gerontechnology as well as other social innovations that may be considered as central parts of the ‘‘silver economy.’’ However, the concept of silver economy is still being formed and requires detailed research. This article proposes a typology of models of the silver economy in the European Union (EU) at the national and regional levels. This typology was created by comparing the Active Ageing Index to the typology of varieties and cultures of capitalism and typology of the welfare states. Practical recommendations for institutions of the EU and directions for further research are discussed.
