The EU funds. Fell on us the rain of money from Brussels – Money.pl

1 billion 481 million euros Poland has received from Brussels this year in the framework of the European cohesion policy for 2014-2020. This, of course, the best result in the whole Community. Spain, which took second place, received almost three times less money. Every third Euro of the cohesion policy in this year came to our country.

- This is a very good result. So good that we will soon be able to boast of such, – smiles Yury Kvetensky, Deputy Minister of development, responsible in the government for EU funds.

member States received so far from cohesion policy funds 4 billion 114 million euros. Poland fell 36 percent. of this amount. The height of the final amount, we are undisputed leader. We compare our result with other countries. Spain was 570 million euros, Portugal 510 million, Lithuania 334 million, and Greece – 324 mln.

a Little worse is the situation if we are talking about the use of the European pie. Transferred to Poland the amount of only 1.9 percent. the money we can spend for 2014-2020. In this respect we are already in seventh place in the EU. Lithuania has already received 5 percent. their money, Estonia 4.5%, Latvia 3%. This is due to the fact that our country has definitely received the most EU money to use, so take more time and effort to disperse the bureaucratic machinery and the employment of the money.

And this still was not better. Although the money from a new multi-year EU budget, we can spend two years, it’s actually for the first half of the year, lying fallow. The government and the local authorities, because he was busy with feverish dopinaniem and settlement money from the budget for 2007-2013. Invoice we have finished sending in Brussels in June, and only then it was possible to take for the current term.

Previously, the EU issuing money actually fell, as we wrote in detail here.

- the EU economy is based on the German economy. Since Germany has “caught a cold”, it feels the whole Union. But policy coherence is based on Poland. And as Russia “catches Qatar” that in our use of European money starts to fail, it also feels that the whole European” – says Jerzy Kvetensky.

as of December 26, 2016, with enterprises, institutions, local authorities, etc. – in short, with all who can use European money – see 9 979 funded contracts totaling more than 107,6 billion. This 68,7 billion dollars is the money of the EU. This means that rozdysponowaliśmy slightly more than a quarter of the money that we have to use for 2014-2020.
