Present economic situation in the EU after the crisis of 2008–2010, escalating protectionism among EU Member States, voices in favour of reindustrialization of the EU economy in a traditional style of the 1970s and the 1980s, and the British leadership in services and new business models are the most important challenges for the future development of the EU Internal Market, as well as for the EU economy, as a whole. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to evaluate changes in the structure of the EU economy and intra EU trade in the context of Brexit. To this end, we will analyse changes in values and shares of selected sectors directly linked to the EU Internal Market in value added and intra EU trade in 2010–2014. Moreover, in order to grasp potential consequences of Brexit, we will compare data for the EU-28 and the EU-27 (without the UK). Our research allows us to conclude that Brexit may result in reduced supply of innovative and business services with the highest added value in favour of higher shares of regular manufacturing sectors within the internal market of the EU (both in value added and intra EU-27 trade). Therefore, after the UK leaves, the EU-27 will lose its competitiveness and a strong position in intra EU trade vis-à-vis third countries.

Recently, following the period of fascination with services, we can hear more and more often about the need for reindustrialization in the European Union, as an opposition to the rapid development of the service sector. As a result of economic crisis of 2008–2010, instead of introducing new business models which implement a concept of servitization that would facilitate the functioning of the EU internal market, we have witnessed reinforced protectionist and interventionist tendencies in both the manufacturing and service sectors. The aim of this paper is to verify whether the European Union is facing deindustrialization and/or servitization processes in the context of the economic crisis of 2008–2010. We therefore analyse and evaluate changes in the contribution of certain manufacturing and service sectors to the EU economy and internal/external EU trade in the period of 2004–2012. The research shows an increasing importance of the service sector, especially manufacturing-related services, and especially in the period of the economic crisis. It seems that the expansion of the service sector has allowed entrepreneurs to join servitization and improve their competitiveness in the EU internal market. Thus, servitization may lead to reindustrialization rather than deindustrialisation in Europe.

Konieczność unowocześnienia zasad udzielania pomocy publicznej wynika zarówno z nowych wieloletnich ram finansowych na lata 2014-2020, strategii „Europa 2020", doświadczeń w realizacji dotychczasowej perspektywy finansowej 2007-2013 oraz interwencji państw członkowskich w okresie kryzysu finansowego i gospodarczego. Głównym dokumentem stanowiącym podstawę do udzielania pomocy inwestycyjnej na poziomie regionów, jak i często określania dopuszczalności innych rodzajów pomocy są wytyczne w sprawie krajowej pomocy regionalnej na lata 2014-2020. W nowych wytycznych Komisja ograniczyła wielkość pomocy, wprowadzając zarówno wyłączenia sektorowe spod obowiązywania tego dokumentu, jak też i ograniczenia podmiotowe. Komisja wprowadziła również system oceny pomocy publicznej, uwzględniając takie kwestie jak: zawodność rynku, zachowanie proporcjonalności środka pomocowego, wpływ na wymianę między państwami członkowskimi oraz konkurencję na rynku wewnętrznym UE. Wydaje się, że Komisja chciała wprowadzić bardziej restrykcyjne przepisy w celu wyeliminowania pomocy publicznej zniekształcającej konkurencję, jednakże państwa członkowskie zmusiły ją do pewnego uelastycznienia zasad wspierania przedsiębiorców.

The need to modernise state aid rules results from the new multiannual financial framework 2014-2020, "Europe 2020" strategy, experience in implementation of the current financial perspective 2007-2013 and governmental interventions in Member States in the period of financial and economic crisis. The Regional Aid Guidelines 2014-2020 (RAG) determine the rules concerning investment aid in regions and the rules of admissibility of other types of state aid in the European Union. The European Commission limited the admissibility of state aid in regions: excluded some sectors from the RAG and included selected subjective restrictions in the RAG. The Commission also foresees implementation of the state aid evaluation system which covers issues concerning: market failure, proportionality of state aid, impact on the exchange among Member States and on the competition in the Internal Market. It seems that the Commission wanted to implement more restrictive rules in order to eliminate the state aid which could distort competition; however, Member States forced it to make more flexible principles of supporting entrepreneurs.
