The aim of the study is twofold. Firstly, it is believed to be the first study of its kind to explore the interconnectivity of the current stage of the EU's Digital Single Market (DSM)3 (European Commission, 2015c) and its development prospects within the framework of the EU and its Member States' SD approach. Secondly, it provides further evidence for the policy debate on the essential priorities of DSM deemed to be a stimulus to the future SD of the EU. It is an attempt to fill the existing gap in research conducted so far on SD and its correlation with the building process of the digital market in the EU. The task is to present by using the method of synthesis and deduction, the essence and milieu of the contemporary processes of building the DSM in the EU in the context of its potential influence for the SD of the EU and its Member States. Due to the interdisciplinary and complexity of the data analyses, mixed research methods were used to integrate quantitative and qualitative analyses and results.

Before 2008, the establishment of the euro area was estimated as one of the most important achievements of the European Union. Unfortunately the world economic crisis has revealed its weakness, including the structure and the functioning of the European Central Bank and the whole system, as well as unsatisfactory results of the process of coordination of economic policy in EU. It also aroused the discussion not only on the future of the Economic and Monetary Union, but also on the future of the whole European Union. The main aim of the article is to analyse the most important instruments of the EU financial regulatory system in managing the financial crisis in the EU. The first part of the article focuses on different attitudes to monetary and budget policies in the EMU and the nature of the instruments established before 2008 to support their coordination. Another part of the article covers the most important issues connected with the background of the crisis in the euro area and the new financial regulatory instruments, such as the European Stability Mechanism or the Fiscal Compact, which were established after 2008. In addition, in order to show the main trends which will take place in the EU in the nearest future, the final part of the article focuses on presenting four scenarios for the euro area.

Od rozszerzenia w 2004 r. Unia Europejska ponownie podkreśliła potrzebę pogłębienia stosunków ze wschodnimi sąsiadami i wypracowania spójnej europejskiej polityki sąsiedztwa (EPS) w celu utrzymania stosunków ze wschodnimi i południowymi sąsiadami. W marcu 2009 r. Rada Europejska jednomyślnie wyraziła poparcie dla "ambitnego projektu Partnerstwa Wschodniego, który stał się częścią EPS i obejmował kraje sąsiadujące ze wschodem. Cele i mechanizmy Partnerstwa Wschodniego opisane są we wspólnej deklaracji państw członkowskich UE i krajów partnerskich. Partnerstwo oferuje więcej tym, którzy wykazują większe postępy w reformowaniu swoich instytucji zgodnie ze standardami E. U. Według autorów, główną zaletą tego projektu jest postępująca integracja krajów partnerskich ze strukturami E. U. Projektowi Partnerstwa Wschodniego przyznano budżet w wysokości 1,9 miliarda euro na okres 2010-2013. Budżet ten został zatwierdzony przez Komisję Europejską, a pieniądze zostały przekazane za pośrednictwem Europejskiego Instrumentu Sąsiedztwa i Partnerstwa (ENPI). Suma obejmuje środki na programy i inicjatywy Partnerstwa o charakterze wielostronnym oraz środki na współpracę z poszczególnymi krajami partnerskimi, które spełniają główne cele PE.

Since the 2004 enlargement the European Union has reiterated the need to deepen its relations with its eastern neighbours and work out a coherent European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) to maintain the relations with its eastern and southern neighbours. In March 2009 the European Council unanimously expressed its support for the 'ambitious Eastern Partnership project which has become a part of its ENP and covered eastern neighbourhood countries. The aims and mechanisms of the Eastern Partnership are described in the joint declaration of the E. U. member states and the partner countries. The Partnership offers more to those who show greater progress in reforming their institutions to E. U. standards. According to the authors, the main benefit of this project is the progressive integration of the partner countries with the E. U. structures. The Eastern Partnership project was allocated a budget of 1.9 billion Euros for the 2010-2013 time period. That budget was approved by the European Commission and the money was committed through the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI). The sum includes the funds for the programmes and initiatives of the Partnership of multilateral character as well as the funds for cooperation with particular partner countries that meet the main goals of the EP.

The aim of this paper is to analyse recent actions undertaken in Poland with the purpose of liberalising the natural gas market. It seems that the drive towards a liberalised natural gas market has been dynamic in Poland in recent years, especially due to the strong EU pressure after the introduction of the third energy package.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to examine the causes, effectiveness and possibilities of overcoming the crisis of the WTO dispute settlement system, including the Appellate Body, in conditions of weakening legitimacy for the functioning and acceptance of the World Trade Organization procedures. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The article uses the qualitative and quantitative method to analyze the controversies related to the functioning of the WTO Appellate Body. The theory of international organization and the theory of public choice were used to analyze the effectiveness of the Appellate Body’s operations in the field of dispute settlement procedures between states in international trade. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Based on the theory of international organization and the theory of public choice, the article discusses the issues of social legitimization for the creation and enforcement of WTO standards that allow the process of liberalization of international trade. Next, the effectiveness of the dispute settlement system, including the Appellate Body, is presented, which allowed the WTO to act in limiting protectionist actions by states. RESEARCH RESULTS: Scientific analysis has confirmed the effectiveness of the WTO dispute settlement system in terms of liberalizing international trade. The weakening social and normative legitimacy of the dispute settlement system, including the WTO Appellate Body, as a result of reduced support for the idea of free trade in many WTO member states, in particular in the United States, made it impossible to reform WTO rules. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Further analysis should be carried out on scientific research on the reform of the dispute settlement system in regional solutions without the participation of the United States. It is also necessary to examine the increase in the level of protectionism in international trade as a result of blocking the activity of the Appellate Body.

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest zbadanie przyczyn, efektywności i możliwości wyjścia z kryzysu systemu rozstrzygania sporów WTO (World Trade Organization), w tym Organu Apelacyjnego w warunkach słabnącej legitymizacji dla funkcjonowania i akceptacji procedur Światowej Organizacji Handlu. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: W artykule zastosowano metodę jakościową i ilościową do analizy kontrowersji związanych z funkcjonowaniem Organu Apelacyjnego WTO. Do analizy efektywności działania Organu Apelacyjnego w zakresie procedur rozstrzygania sporów między państwami w handlu międzynarodowym zastosowano teorię organizacji międzynarodowej oraz teorię wyboru publicznego. PROCES WYWODU: Na podstawie teorii organizacji międzynarodowej i teorii wyboru publicznego w artykule omówiono problematykę legitymizacji społecznej dla tworzenia i egzekwowania norm WTO, pozwalających na proces liberalizacji handlu międzynarodowego. Następnie przedstawiono efektywność systemu rozstrzygania sporów, w tym Organu Apelacyjnego, która umożliwiła działanie WTO w ograniczeniu działań protekcjonistycznych państw. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Analiza naukowa potwierdziła efektywność systemu rozstrzygania sporów WTO odnośnie do liberalizacji handlu międzynarodowego. Słabnąca legitymizacja społeczna i normatywna systemu rozstrzygania sporów, w tym Organu Apelacyjnego WTO, w wyniku ograniczenia poparcia dla idei wolnego handlu w wielu państwach członkowskich WTO, w szczególności w Stanach Zjednoczonych, uniemożliwiła reformowanie reguł WTO. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE I REKOMENDACJE: W dalszej analizie należy podjąć badania naukowe dotyczące zreformowania systemu rozstrzygania sporów w rozwiązaniach regionalnych bez udziału Stanów Zjednoczonych. Niezbędne jest również zbadanie wzrostu poziomu protekcjonizmu w handlu międzynarodowym w efekcie zablokowania działalności Organu Apelacyjnego.
