The present study uses the analysis of the EU’s regional performance structure based on clusters to test the versatility of the regional administrative capacity in relation to three disruptive global phenomena: the economic crisis, the coronavirus epidemic and the phenomenon of refugee migration to Europe. We defined a regional performance model based on maintaining sustainability indicators in the 240 EU regions. The objectives of the study are aimed primarily at a structured assessment of regional administrative capacity in the initial version, based on statistical indicators, and in the current version, after the outbreak of the pandemic, based on quantifying the impact of the disturbing factors. Secondly, the objectives of the study are to evaluate the reaction of the administrative units according to their ability to respond to the economic problems in the region, in the sense of improving the performance of the regional economies. The methods used in this paper will be empirical (the study of the specialized literature), analytical and will contain econometric modelling and statistical processing of the data. The results of the study will allow the identification of the necessary traits to train a leader in regional performance, traits that will be useful to European decision makers in adjusting the EU regional policy. Moreover, the need to redefine the EU in terms of performance will be substantiated once again. The study is current and is based on the latest Eurostat information, pertinent tables and diagrams.

Abstract Although new sanctions have been imposed, to varying degrees, on Russia since the debut of the Crimean crisis, few experts are taking the chance of publishing an assessment of the impact these sanctions will have on Russia or the European Union. On one hand, the complexity of the variables involved makes it extremely difficult to predict the outcome of said sanctions; on the other hand, an accurate assessment would make an invaluable tool in the hands of decision makers, no matter if their decisions are made with regards to foreign policy, public policy or the daily business of private companies. This article sets out to examine the context, some of the variables involved and some of the forecasts that have been put forward by various experts, while trying to provide a simplified model for assessing the impact of sanctions enacted by the EU on its own economy.

Subject The impact of Brexit on the English-speaking Caribbean. Significance The Caribbean is a region with strong links to the United Kingdom that will be affected significantly by the UK voters' decision to leave the EU ('Brexit'). The region includes sovereign and non-sovereign countries and both groups will be affected, albeit in different ways. Impacts Caribbean concerns will not be a priority for either the United Kingdom or the EU. Uncertainty may further undermine already weak regional economies. CARICOM will need a new trade accord with the United Kingdom, its main export market.

The article is devoted to the study of legal and economic relations that arise in the field of cargo transportation, in particular, their transshipment and legal grounds for its implementation. The article analyzes the legal nature of cargo handling in both the technological process and civil law services. It is determined that transshipment is a separate technological operation in the course of transportation and has its own basis for implementation, which serves as an agreement and therefore confirms and ensures the existence of a legal relationship between individual actors in economic turnover. The authors list the criteria for the economic efficiency of cargo handling, including delivery of cargo to the area where there are no certain types of transport; economic expediency of certain types of transport; and speeding up the delivery process. The European experience in using the cargo handling operation, the basis of the activity of logistic cents and the purpose of their functioning are analyzed. The statistical indicators of economic efficiency in the EU member countries are determined. The authors draw conclusions on the impact of European integration processes on the Ukrainian economy, in particular on the development of the logistics sector.

Increasingly intensified processes of globalization and the connected processes of European integration create new challenges for particular individuals and societies, and also business entities and institutions that are present in various scales of spatial systems. They refer to the rules of progressing process of concentration of capital (business activity) which results in the emergence of larger and larger global corporations. Their activities intensify polarization of global, European, national or regional social, economic and cultural space, and to some extent they lead to their standardization. That is why aspiring to learn complex regularities of changes that happen both in companies, and in particular spatial systems is so crucial during the process of development managing. Thus, it is advised to remember that problems concerning development of businesses, which refer both to the way of managing an enterprise as well as to spatial systems, are of great importance and they are part of current research subjects in the area of theoretical inquiries and within the scope of development of empirical analyses. They lead to more precise cognition of mechanisms and determinants, which in domestic conditions should be used to activate society within the range of developing resourcefulness. A model, which can serve as a pattern to conduct analyses and construct strategies of development of particular categories of companies and their surroundings, with attention paid to the impact of such features as: institutions and members of the EU, markets, economic policy and potential alternatives concerning behaviour of decision-makers of any kind, was proposed in this paper.

Abstract Industrially produced trans fatty acids (ITFA) increase the LDL:HDL ratio and hereby the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, ITFA has been reduced in Western Europe over the last decades but is still high in Eastern Europe and in subgroups of the EU population. Regulatory interventions are the only way to minimize ITFA intake for all. The Danish ITFA ban (2004) can elucidate the impact of elimination of ITFA on CVD. In Denmark cardiac mortality declined by 70% through 1980-2009. Data on ITFA intake and blood lipids from the 1990s, where the average Danish ITFA intake was about 3 g/d, and up to today are needed to study the correlation between intake of ITFA and serum cholesterol (CHOL). The Danish food composition databank has been updated with TFA intake values. Hereby the correlation between ITFA intake and CHOL level in Denmark from 1993 -2006 can be investigated. Methods Ecological analyses of ITFA and CHOL in participants from 3 cohorts: Diet, Cancer and Health (1993-1997); n = 57,054; 50-64 yrInter99 (1999-2001); n = 6,784, 30-60 yrHealth 2006 (2006); n = 3,471, 18-69 yr Results ITFA-intake was 0.02 g/d in Inter99. Data will be extended to include ITFA intake data of all cohorts as well as age adjusted correlations with CHOL. Mean CHOL all men (n = 31,675) declined from 6.3 ± 1.0 in 1993 to 5.4± 1.0 in 2006 Mean CHOL all women (n = 34,675) declined from 6.6 ± 1.5 in 1993 to 5.4± 1.1 in 2006 Similar declines were found in participants without self-reported hypercholesterolemia: Mean CHOL men (n = 28,999) declined from 6.1 ± 0.9 in 1993 to 5.1± 1.0 in 2006 Mean CHOL women (n = 32,593) declined from 6.5 ± 1.5 in 1993 to 5.2± 1.1 in 2006 There was a significant decrease in CHOL (p < 0.0001) from 1993, where average Danish intake of ITFA was about 3 g/d to 2006 where ITFA was banned Conclusions Data show a non-treatment related significant decline in CHOL. Data from 2000 and 2006 are collected in younger populations, which may explain lower CHOL levels. Key messages Cholesterol decline significantly in Danish participants simultaneously with ITFA elimination. Results are important for decision makers in countries which consider ITFA regulation.

AbstractThis article analyses the process of adaptation of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to EU membership and participation in CFSP, both before and after EU accession. It addresses changes in organizational structure, but also in institutional culture and everyday practices. Despite the initial ambiguity, Polish decision-makers tend to perceive CFSP as an opportunity rather than a constraint on national foreign policy. It is argued that the turning point of the Europeanization process took place in 2003, when Poland became an active observer to the EU and its diplomats were allowed to attend meetings inside the Council. The article also identifies and analyses the gaps in experience and knowledge between the diplomats posted to Brussels and those that stayed in Warsaw. Finally, it examines the various challenges that EU membership held for the MFA and how they have been dealt with so far.

The essence of such concepts as “national security”, “economic security” is disclosed; the components of the national and economic security of Ukraine are defined; mechanisms of public administration economic security; the main indicators of economic security are described; detected threats that affect economic security; Recommendations are developed to improve the effectiveness of implemented measures to minimize existing threats. It is determined that at present state administration of the subjects of ensuring national security taking into account real and potential threats should be directed to the improvement of the organizational structure of the management of the subjects of ensuring national security, namely: clarification of the functions of ministries and other central executive bodies, elimination of surplus administrative units, simplification and relatively cheaper control of the management apparatus, taking into account the assessment of the impact of information networks on the management of entities with bezpechennya national security in a single information space. Having considered the components of national security, it was concluded that the most important in the overall system of national security is economic security, since it is the material basis of national sovereignty, which determines the real possibilities for securing other types of security. It is noted that the main content of economic reforms in Ukraine is the creation of conditions for overcoming poverty and excessive property stratification in society, bringing social standards closer to the level of the states of Central and Eastern Europe — the EU member states, achieving the economic criteria necessary for Ukraine to become a member of the EU. According to the adopted “Strategy of National Security of Ukraine”, the main condition for a new quality of economic growth is the provision of economic security.

In order to study the significance of the impact of wear on the working surfaces of parts of the intermediate gear assembly on the amount of plunger dead stroke and, therefore, on the cycle feed and advance fuel injection angle, we analyzed the critical positions of the parts of the assembly without the repair of its geometric parameters. In the process, the working surfaces of parts and mates are subject to intensive wear, which leads to an increase in the radial play of the intermediate gear. With the help of the developed device, the intermediate gears of the first and second pump sections of 70 ND-22/6 pumps from among the repair stock were examined at the specialized workshop of OAO “Yantikovskoe RTP”. From an analysis of the results of statistical processing of the backlash values in the nodes under study, it follows that in 75% of pumps the value of the radial play of the intermediate gear exceeds the allowable value for the first pumping section and 72% of the pumps for the second section. The paper proposes a method for determining the radial play of the intermediate gear drive of the plunger rotation drive of the distribution type pump. The design of the device for the in-place determination of the radial play of parts in the nodes of intermediate gears is given. Statistical indicators of the radial play of the intermediate gears of the plunger rotation mechanism were obtained. The percentage of shelf life of distribution type pumps is determined by the parameters of the technical condition of the intermediate gear assemblies. According to the research results, it was proposed to transfer the intermediate gear assemblies of the ND-22/6 pumps to the category of repair kits with their obligatory replacement when replacing pump sections.

This chapter examines the Europeanization effects associated with Romania’s effort to begin and, later, complete its accession negotiations with the European Union. The road to EU membership in 2007 was a long and hard one for Romania. While public and political opinion remained solidly in favour of integration, and ultimately membership, institutional fluidity, poor administrative capacity, political factionalism, and corruption posed significant challenges to processes of domestic adaptation. The chapter first provides an overview of the changing pattern of Romania’s relationship with the EU before discussing some of the early evidence of the impact of EU membership on Romanian public opinion, party politics, and public policy. It also looks at important factors that have affected both the ‘production’ and ‘reception’ of the Europeanization pressures associated with the EU’s most recent enlargement. Finally, it compares Romania’s EU membership experience with those of other member states, particularly Poland and Bulgaria.
