Abstract
The essay, after identifying the most important legal issues resulting from the expansion of the golden powers over the last decade, focuses on two thematic areas. Firstly, it seeks to answer the question of whether golden power can be a means of relaunching European integration, as well as protecting national security. Second, it deepens the structural and functional strengthening of the regulatory framework following the EU Regulation 2019/452 and the Decree-Law Liquidity and Ukraine, analysing the legal consequences both from an organisational and procedural point of view and from the point of view of judicial protection.
