Abstract
The economic crisis in the European Union is one of the key factors hampering economic development in both individual Member States and the EU as a whole. Entities that may play a significant role in overcoming the crisis are business groups operating at the level of the European Union. Therefore, the author of the article attempted to explore the phenomenon of the functioning of business groups under the conditions of crisis. The article describes a functioning of interest groups during the crisis, including their ability to influence the decision-making process and ongoing legislative changes in the EU law, which could impact the process of overcoming the crisis in the EU in the future. The article also includes an analysis of the functions performed by business groups during a crisis, as well as guidelines and conclusions showing ways to foster the activity of business groups under the conditions of crisis.
