Financial Stability In The Eurozone Zielinska-Lont, Klaudia This article summarizes the most serious doubts with respect to the functioning of the monetary union and evaluates their credibility over time. New financial stability-securing solutions are also described and analyzed as to whether they are sufficient to prevent Europe from stumbling from one crisis to another. The subject is analyzed over different periods of time - firstly describing the term “financial stability”, along with the major concerns about the process of introducing the euro at the time of its finalization and implementation. Secondly the article describes how these preceding doubts have been verified during the following fourteen years of the EMU’s functioning. The revealed weaknesses of the EMU are also underlined in order to prove the need of further integration. The final section summarizes the solutions implemented in response to the crises that have hit Europe during the time of the Euro’s functioning.

Investments Attractiveness. The Case Of The Visegrad Group Countries Dorożyński, Tomasz; Kuna-Marszałek, Anetta In the article, we attempt to assess the investment attractiveness of the New EU Member States, using the Visegrad Group countries as examples. This study is structured as follows: First, it explores the existing literature on factors of investment attractiveness. Further we examine inward foreign direct investment flows in the Visegrad Group countries against the global performance in the area from 1990 to 2013. Next we discuss the investment attractiveness of New Member States of the European Union in selected international rankings, paying special attention to the positions occupied by the four analysed countries. The final part examines the correlation between selected variables characteristic of investment attractiveness and the inflow of foreign investment. The study is based on statistical methods (Spearman’s rank correlation and Pearson correlation). At the end we present our conclusions.

Resource-Efficcent Growth In The Eu’s Sustainable Development −A Comparative Analysis Based On Selected Indicators Lipińska, Danuta This article presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of resource efficiency in the use of natural resources for economic growth consistent with the principles of sustainable development in EU countries. To realize this objective, a review of the literature and EU strategic documents concerning the subject under study is presented. The comparative analysis has been prepared on the basis of international statistical data (Eurostat, EEA) for EU countries from the years 2002−2013. The analysis covers the following indicators: resource productivity, water exploitation index, water productivity, generation of waste, and the landfill and recycling rate. The results show that in general terms the efficiency of resource use in the EU is gradually improving, but only to a small extent. With regard to individual countries this process shows significant diversity, and is closely associated with the level of economic development of a particular country. In some individual countries, this resource efficiency is at a very low level, which is the case with several countries of Eastern and Central Europe.
