2020 was not an ordinary year in terms of disaster management. The outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic across the world led to an extraordinary response at every level. In this Section, the reaction elaborated at the European level is taken into consideration. However, the purpose of this Section is neither to provide a comprehensive analysis of all legal tools elaborated in Europe to face the pandemic nor to review, synthetise or analyse the reactions to those tools from different stakeholders and interest groups. Instead, it intends carrying out a legal reflection on the most relevant trends emerging from the response the European Union (EU) has elaborated in this respect. Two main reasons justify such a choice. First, it has been argued that the EU is the regional international organisation with the most elaborated toolkit in the field of disaster management.1 From this perspective, it is not surprising that the number of EU measures taken during the pandemic is particularly remarkable. A global assessment of their effectiveness and distinctive features is thus particularly apt. Secondly, it cannot be underestimated the impact such measures have produced on the ‘constitutional legal framework’ of the EU as a regional organisation – that legal framework being understood as a ‘structured network of principles, rules and mutually interdependent legal relations binding the EU and its Member States reciprocally and binding its Member States to each other’.2 As stressed by some commentators, ‘[t]he pandemic has reopened old fault lines and amplified problematic trends in the Union, from economic disparities to diverging attitudes to the rule of law.
