The crisis effects forced the European Union institutions and its Member States to undertake significant decisions and to draw recovery plans. Apart from the initiatives aimed at the economic policy coordination and financial markets supervision, the EU proposed and introduced important initiatives for the strengthening of competitiveness of the internal market. In November 2008 the European Commission in the communication on the recovery plan proposed the ways to support the real economy and competitiveness, to boost demand and restore confidence in the European economy. Then, in the course of 2008-2011 years, a broad range of legislative and non-legislative decisions have been taken by the European Commission and European Parliament in order to minimize the crisis consequences for the internal market, including the Single Market Act and the new European strategy Europe 2020. Moreover, additional amount of money coming from the EU budget was designed for spending on i.e. energy safety, development of broad-band internet in the rural areas or enterprise help within the Cohesion Policy, and the European Investment Bank designed 15 bn euro for credits and loans for the SMEs.</p>10acompetitiveness10aeconomic crisis10aEU budget10aEU institutions10aEU Multiannual Financial Perspective 2007-201310aEurope2020 strategy10aEuropean integration10aEuropean Union10ainternal market10ainternational economics10aMultiannual Financial Framework 2014-202010aSingle Market Act1 aMusiałkowska, Ida1 aSapała, Magdalena1 aWróblewski, Łukasz  uhttp://www.puereview.ue.poznan.pl/2012v12n2/4_Musialkowska_Sapala_Wroblewski.pdfno socket
