Abstract: After the enlargements of 2004 and 2007 European Union has confronted with an unprecedented increase of the development disparities. The cohesion policy for the period 2007-2013 concentrates on investments in researchdevelopment and innovation, infrastructure, industrial competitiveness, labor training, renewable energy sources and increase of energy efficiency. Under the new circumstances determined by the two enlargements a modernization of the cohesion policy is necessary, especially as regards the implementation mechanisms. Also, the objectives of this policy as well as it contents have to be revised.
