STRUCTURAL FUNDS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS A PART OF THE POLISH ADMINISTRATIVE LAW SYSTEM

Regional policy is based on the implementation of objectives that aim to develop competitiveness. Activities related to Regional Operational Programs are part of the implementation of the National Strategic Reference Framework 2007-2013. Each member state of the European Union presents a national strategic reference framework to make certain that the assistance of the funds is coherent with the Community Strategic Guidelines. In Poland, individual voivodeship boards, in cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Development, prepare projects for the Regional Operational Programs that plan on financial subsidies from the state budget or sources from abroad that are procured through the government.
