Summary/Abstract: The concept of public policy in Polish literature is a relatively new issue. Funds are one (but not only) of the instruments of implementation of public policies in the EU. In the classical meaning of public policy consists of a sequence of separate activities which should include identification of problems, the definition of principles and policy objectives, an indication of the instruments and resources needed to achieve set targets and assess their validity. The aim of this paper is to show how European Union funds affect the implementation of EU public policies in Poland and what are the implications.
