The importance of EU funds as the source of financing of local self-government activity

Summary/Abstract: From the beginning when Poland joined the European Union it has been possible to notice the growth of financial sources from the EU funds in the budgets of territorial self-government units. These entities, besides entrepreneurs, derive non-returnable financial sources for the realization of targets of cohesion policy of the European Union. In 2009 territorial self-government units in Poland won the most of these sources and financed over 24% of their investment expenditure. Concerning effective expenditure of financial sources from the EU funds in the present and future financial perspective, nowadays the territorial self-government units in Poland should define their development potential and the ability to introduce in practice spatial policy instruments according to EU requirements. Thanks to that they should be able to absorb EU funds for realizing local and regional projects also in the new period of programming 2014-2020.
