| description |
Poland along with seven other Central
European and Baltic countries, joined the European Union
(EU) on May 1, 2004. This was a historical event, marking
the country's final reintegration with the rest of
Europe, and the importance of this from a geopolitical point
of view is undeniable. For Poland and the other new member
countries, the distinction between external and internal
convergence is less important from the EU perspective as
virtually all regions within these countries have income
levels significantly below the EU average and are eligible
for financial support from the union. Thus, these countries
have considerable discretion in how the EU financial support
is allocated among its constituent regions and among various
programs. This is done according to National Development
Plans (NDPs) and Community Support Frameworks (CSFs) agreed
with the EU. This report discusses regional income
disparities and policies in Poland and the likely impact on
these on European Union (EU) accession and provides
recommendations for the successor National Development Plan
(NDP) currently under preparation for the next EU budget
period (2007-13). The report is organized as follows:
Section 2 discusses external and internal convergence in
Poland during the transition period and analyses the sources
of regional income disparities; Section 3 discusses the
likely impact of EU accession and Section 4 examines
regional policy in Poland. |
