Abstract: The EU countries differ their socio-economic development. If the assessment is made at the NUTS-2 level, the differences are even greater. The least developed turn out to be the regions with the highest proportion of rural areas. The problem of the efficiency and effectiveness of the EU policies is often studies. Yet, most of the studies focus on a single policy thus they do not verify the interlinks among them and the existence of the synergy effect. This paper presents the problem of the convergence of the EU socio-economic development studying the results of the so far conducted research on both regional policy and CAP. The study’s results show that the impact on the supported region of both CAP and regional policy is weak and that there is a need for redesigning of these policies but it can be effective only if their new shape employs the approach of cooperation between these policies.
