Znaczenie funduszy strukturalnych Unii Europejskiej dla polskich regionów
The role of EU structural funds for regions in Poland

Summary/Abstract: In order to remove regional economic disparities, the European Union realizes a cohesion policy. Such a policy is justified economically and socially. It is, however, conditioned by the acceptance of an active role of the European Union and the member states in economy and therefore by the agreement to its interventionism beyond nations. The pace of economic growth in Poland in the recent years – bigger than the average in the EU – has contributed to the making up for the part of a developing distance towards the rest of the Member States. The cohesion policy had some participation in this process. The main aim of the article is an evaluation of the role of the EU structural funds in the stimulation of social-economic development of Poland, in particular its impact on the economy of the regions.
