Athletics European Championships in Munich next year will have a much shorter and new qualification system. For past editions athletes had the opportunity to qualify in a circle of 1,5 years (January - to the championships), for Munich only results from 27. July 2021 on (Olympics) will count. 
Aswell there are much higher Entry Standards and also the World Rankings will count for the Qualification:

Really much much tougher standards than in previous editions, almost WCH and OG level. for example in hepthatlon going up from 5850 points to 6250 😳
 

I don’t like it, ECH were the only chance for non top international level athletes and young athletes to appear in a large event. Beside that the number of athletes in field events is only 26! 
 

not sure how they want to handle non qualified nations as there will be few with the new entry standards. In the past each NF could enter one non qualified athlete per event subject to approval by EAA based on quality of athlete. I guess that is gone too. But let’s wait for the official document in English.

and here the official document 

 

As suspected a NF with no qualified athletes can enter overall one athlete per gender which count towards the target number in that event

This is a really dumb Qualification process. They pretend to find 60 marathon runners under 2.14 considering there's a World Championships in the same month???

I could imagine that many Europeans will focus on ECH. Better medal or top ten at ECH than without a chance at WCH in my opinion. 
 

but even if you are right, they will fill up the field via rankings, so you still have good chances with 2.20🤣or even worse.
