Cohesion Policy of the European Union and Sustainable Development in the Context of Environmental Protection
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2012) Przybojewska, Ilona
Considerations of environmental protection have to be taken into account when the cohesion policy is determined and realized just by virtue of a horizontal clause from article 11 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Nevertheless, these considerations are also reflected directly within the framework of the cohesion policy of the European Union by use of financial instruments such as the European Regional Development Fund or the Cohesion Fund. Within the regional policy, introduced to diminish disproportions in regional development, the means are allocated for projects destined to contribute to raise the level of environmental protection as well as for initiatives such as trans-European networks which can rather contribute to the decrease of the aforementioned level. It is hard to overlook that globalization processes imply the emergence of new threats to natural environment. In this context there appears the question of mutual compatibility of the actions indicated. The answer can be given only after performing an analysis of relevant regulations and their real influence on the regional development as well as on the environment. The crucial conception here is the principle of sustainable development which should be examined to discover its actual meaning.
