Možnosti a úskalí využití evropských fondů na podporu zotavení ČR z pandemické krize v období 2021-2022 na příkladu investičního nástroje REACT-EU, výzva 101

This thesis analyzes the EU social policy on the example of the REACT-EU investment instrument, call No. 101, and evaluates its effectiveness in the reaction that were taken to recover society from the covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the policy was to achieve the material and technical infrastructure of social services and prepare it for the possible next waves of the pandemic, and to create the ground for a green, digital and sustainable economy. Following this, the work evaluates the practical applicability of the policy and its real impact. The selected topic is very current. The issue of pandemics and climate pollution is considered to be the biggest crisis nowdays, and a considerable amount of EU funding is being used to address it. The thesis provides an insight into the topic in a way that, given the novelty of the entire program, has not yet been processed by any. The theoretical part outlines the current course of the pandemic and places it in the context of selected economic theories. The second part defines the principles of the Green Deal and introduces the principles of anti-pandemic European funds. The practical part analyzes and compares data collected from the Czech subsidy authorities, and with the help of real fild experience and taking into account current events in the world comes to the following conclusions. The response to the need to help the social system in the fight against the pandemic was timely and it targeted at the most affected areas precisely.However, the practical applicability of the policy was inefficient in some particular areas. The incorporation of the principles of the Green Deal is found to be ill-conceived, especially the necessary condition for acquisition of alternative-fuel cars for which the Czech Republic does not have sufficient material and technical capacity.
