Poland to Receive Over EUR 10 bn From Cohesion Funds

Poland will receive EUR 10.2 bln from the EU cohesion fund in 2011, according to the draft EU budget accepted by the European Commission on Tuesday.

The total pool of cohesion and structural funds in 2011 will amount to EUR 42 bln out of a EUR 142 bln budget, i.e. 17% more than in 2010.

The draft budget assumes an unprecedented increase in spending on cohesion policy in 2007-2013 financial perspective, Commissioner for Financial Programming and Budget Janusz Lewandowski said.

"Cohesion policy is anti-crisis policy," he added.

These funds from the EU are a wonderful opportunity for Poland to develop the infrastructure and ensure a firm place for the future BUT somehow the process of spending this funding is taking on a very slow processing system.

Unless the powers that be, begin to work much more quickly at utilising these funds and spending them on a properly planned basis, the money will be withdrawn. It is a question of 'Use it' or 'Lose it

The time has surely come for the spending of this money and not the constant delays and indecision which are plaguing the system.
