Abstract
Examining the EU’s performance in the pandemic crisis requires a comparison with two milestones in the trajectory of European integration: the 1973 oil crisis and the 2008 financial crisis. The EU has been more effective in this moment than in the one immediately preceding it. This was not difficult. But if one examines the dynamism of post-1973 and measures it against the burden of the current European Council, optimism fades. However, the financial muscle, then as the European Social Fund, now updated, is still in excellent shape.
