A chapter in New Cohesion Policy of the European Union in Poland, 2014, pp 45-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Cohesion Policy continues to be the major EU policy in the next financial period 2014–2020 (in terms of budgetary money spent on it) and EU regions will be main beneficiaries of this type of support. The paper presents changes in Cohesion Policy addressed to regions in the period 2014–2020 as compared with years 2007–2013. These changes cover such areas as: size of the money to be spent on regional policy, main priorities and criteria for distribution of money, legal documents underlying the policy, performance framework, forms of financial support, new paradigm of regional policy as compared to previous years. Conclusions concentrate on the most significant ideas characterizing Cohesion Policy in 2014–2020. Those ideas include among others: (a) linking allocation of Cohesion Policy funds with the Europe 2020 objectives; (b) reinforcing territorial dimension of Cohesion Policy; (c) conditionalities; (d) stronger monitoring and evaluation; (e) increased role of repayable instruments (re-use of the initial funds) at the cost of non-repayable grants; (f) change of the paradigm underlying the Cohesion Policy.
