Abstract

Recent events seem like a level 5 storm unleashed all over the face of the earth, more precisely a virus called COVID-19 has triggered a pandemic of gigantic proportions. Thus, in addition to the immediate medical and social implications, economic and fiscal-budgetary implications at the global level, but also at the European level, are likely to be much more serious than the illness itself. Therefore, the article mainly aims to articulate a series of questions and possible answers regarding the issue of fiscal integration in the European Union. The argumentation is mainly theoretical, and where possible and necessary figures will be provided to support the theoretical framework.
