Some changes are being made to the qualifiers for the Champions League and Europa League starting next season: http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2499801.html#/champions+league+europa+changes+next+season
The 2 biggest changes are the fact that teams knocked out in the first 2 rounds of the Champions League qualifiers now get a second chance in the Europa League qualifiers, and the Europa League qualifiers now also has a Champions Path which means champions from smaller leagues such as Israel, Cyprus, Romania and everything beneath that will no longer for example have to worry about playing the #2, #3 from countries like Ukraine, Belgium, Turkey, Austria etc., instead they'll only play Champions from other small countries.
At the end of the day I expect these changes to be absolutely fantastic for small teams from the smaller leagues.
