EU toimii maailmanlaajuisen koronakriisin ratkaisemiseksi
Koronavirus on globaali pandemia, jonka torjumisessa tarvitaan globaalia yhteistyötä. EU toimii monin tavoin maailmanlaajuisen koronakriisin ratkaisemiseksi.
Euroopan unionin toimilla rajoitetaan viruksen leviämistä, huolehditaan terveydenhuollon laitteiden saatavuudesta, edistetään rokotteiden, diagnostiikan ja hoitomenetelmien tutkimusta ja hankintaa sekä tuetaan jäsenmaiden taloutta ja työllisyyttä, myös akuutin kriisiajan jälkeen.
Unionin ulkopuolella tukea ohjataan erityisesti konfliktialueille ja kehitysmaihin.

On 12 May 2022, the European Commission decided that the more flexible state aid rules that were introduced to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic would largely end on 30 June 2022. The decision was based on the Commission’s assessment that the coronavirus pandemic no longer has a negative impact on the EU economy. However, the measures under the temporary state aid rules to support the recovery of the EU will remain in force until the end of 2022 and 2023.
