We concurrently distinguish two processes that are ongoing in modern Europe which directly influence regional cooperation. The first of them has an integrative character and the second an economic character. The purpose of the former is to get rid of the internal borders of the EU and to enhance external boarders outside the EU. In the latter there are socio-economic actions which develop the processes of regional cooperation. Both of these not only determine the development of the regions which lie close to internal boarders but also the external borders of the EU which influence the development of frontier areas. What characterises the process of development in the Polish euroregion? Each of these determines its own targets along with the rules of cooperation to which we can inclu¬de among others; the development of human capital, the development of entrepreneurship, the development of the tourism sector, open boarders and working together on environmental security. The article below presents the evolution which has taken place regarding the approach to regional cooperation along with the influence of EU funds on common actions of frontier areas with regards to the enhance¬ment of their competitiveness.

The main goal of this article is to present an analysis of the implemented actions supporting the increase of competitiveness of the SME sector within the framework of regional development policy in 2007–2013, with particular emphasis on barriers in access to EU funds by this sector of the economy. The described barriers have been identifi ed on the basis of the interviews carriedout. The obtained results confirm the most frequent opinions about problems with access to EU funds that entrepreneurs have, such as: poor information about application rules and procedures, too extensive bureaucracy and unclear guidelines regarding, among others, eligibility of expenditure.

A number of innovative projects, completed in the past decade, have helped changed the face of the labour market from the passive to the active. In addition to customised solutions, they enable the implementation of the results (e.g. tools and models) in current labour market policy. Currently, the concept of innovation has become not only a symbol of the modern economy, but also an indicator by which we determine changes in the labour market. In this case we are dealing with so-called ‘social innovation’ the essence of which is to create, customise and adapt solutions to social issues related directly or indirectly to the labour market that have worked in other countries and regions. With regards to the effectiveness of measures implemented by the employment services, we need to look at the labour market through the prism of the tools available, allowing (as soon as possible) the bringing of the unemployed into employment through, among others, the creation of a ‘portfolio’ of skills and competencies and a matching of training, both to the level specified by a future position as well as the requirements of the market. Presented in this article is an innovative approach to enable an unemployed person to meet all the demands of modern recruitment and job seekers with public employment services: an individualised approach to the expectations of both an employer and a candidate for a job, ensures close contact with the local labour market. This offers a personalised treatment for any person wishing to take up employment.

Realised since 2004, the projects apply to an extremely diverse area of support for every fi eld of human activity and, taking into consideration the financing source, the majority of them are currently cofinanced by EU funds as part of, among other things, the regional development policy. The process of project planning and realisation is directly related to project management which is periodical i.e. it is a closed entirety consisting of repetitive phases and stages. In relation to the above there is a possibility to formulate principles, ways of planning and realising a project. What are the characteristics of supranational cooperation projects? The most important factor is that, apart from a project benefi ciary, there is a partner without whom we would be unable to realise activities that require partnership. Another characteristic is the so-called added value, understood as the objectives of a project and concrete products and results possible to be achieved only through supranational cooperation which would otherwise be unable to be realised by implementing projects with a national range only. For the purpose of this article the author, as an example of such a project, selected a project realised as part of PO KL entitled “A Change in the Way of Thinking as a Key to Social Integration”.

Fighting unemployment in the EU has been and still is the most serious challenge to economic policy. Poland’s entry into the EU meant not only the opening of European labour markets to Poles, but also significant transformations that made our market more flexible and which have helped alleviate the effects of the global financial crisis. The new situation is a new challenge with regards to increasing productivity and the ability of the economy to create new jobs. Unfortunately, apart from the positive effects of the transformation, unfavorable phenomena have emerged including the too-frequent use of fi xed-term contracts by employers. This unfavorable phenomenon lessens an employer’s motivation to invest in an employee and to improve his or her qualifi cations and in the longer term worsens the socio-economic situation. The author of this article has attempted to assess the functioning of the labour market, taking into account the years 2012–2016. The choice of this particular period is directly related to the pace of the economic changes that took place at that time and the incubation of new, unidentified problems such as the following; the impact of EU funds on increasing the competitiveness of employers in the employment process and the phenomenon of the economic and financial recession, which at the turn of caused a signifi cant rise in unemployment and a decrease in employment.

Małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa (MSP) stały się w ostatnich latach jednym z głównych czynników rozwoju ekonomicznego państw członkowskich. Ich wysoka efektywność działania, na którą składają się niskie koszty związane z brakiem rozbudowanej administracji, korzystaniem z usług i wysoka zdolność do przystosowywania się do nowych warunków ekonomiczno-administracyjnych, powoduje postrzeganie tej części gospodarki unijnej jako ogniwa dynamicznego rozwoju. Akcesja Polski do Unii Europejskiej to dla polskiej gospodarki zarówno wielka szansa, jak i ogromne wyzwanie. Korzyści przystąpienia do UE odczuwają wszystkie grupy społeczne, w tym również przedsiębiorcy, którzy muszą stawić czoło rosnącej konkurencji oraz barierom jakie tworzy wewnętrzny system instytucjonalny w dostępie do pieniądza unijnego. Tak więc z jednej strony firmy otrzymały ogromną szansę na rozwój dzięki unijnym funduszom strukturalnym, z drugiej zaś muszą zmierzyć się ze zbyt rozbudowanym systemem dostępu. Jednak to właśnie inwestycje w rozwój sektora MSP sprzyjają budowaniu społeczeństwa opartego na wiedzy, zdolnego sprostać wyzwaniom demograficznym, jak i konkurencji w globalizującej się gospodarce europejskiej i światowej.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) have become one of the most significant factors of the economic development of the member states. High effectiveness, connected with low costs of undeveloped administration, service usage and high ability to adjust to new economic-administrative conditions makes this part of union economy to be considered as a dynamic development chain. Poland's accession to the EU is a great chance but also a challenge for the Polish economy. All social groups including entrepreneurs facing the rising competition and barriers, created by the internal institutional system to the euro access, benefit from the EU accession. On the one hand, enterprises have a huge chance for a further development due to the union structural funds, but on the other hand, they have to cope with the too extensive accession system. However, investing in the Small and Medium Enterprises is conducive to creating the society based on knowledge, able to face demographic challenges and competition in a global economy.

Rozwój mikro- i małej przedsiębiorczości stanowi o sukcesie gospodarczym krajów Unii Europejskiej, dlatego priorytetowo wspierane i dofinansowane są projekty realizowane przez ten sektor gospodarki. Niewątpliwie możliwość uzyskania dotacji na prowadzenie działalności gospodarczej i podwyższenie jej konkurencyjności spowodowała przyrost nowo zakładanych podmiotów gospodarczych. Według danych na koniec września 2015 r. ok. 31 tys. przedsiębiorstw skorzystało z funduszy unijnych na realizację projektów inwestycyjnych, dodatkowo wsparcie otrzymało ok. 250 instytucji z otoczenia biznesu. Zrealizowane projekty przyczyniły się do rozwoju społeczno- -ekonomicznego, zdynamizowania gospodarki oraz podniesienia atrakcyjności inwestycyjnej naszych regionów na arenie międzynarodowej. Fundusze unijne z jednej strony stały się jednym z głównych determinantów zwiększających innowacyjność polskiej gospodarki, z drugiej zaś – priorytetową formą finansowania zewnętrznego będącego głównym elementem tzw. mikrootoczenia przedsiębiorcy. Największym zainteresowaniem cieszyły się programy, z których polskie firmy mogły realizować bezpośrednie inwestycje na odbudowę parku technologicznego oraz podnoszenie kompetencji swoich pracowników. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest identyfikacja, porównanie i ocena wykorzystania wybranych form wsparcia rozwoju przedsiębiorczości z funduszy UE oraz przedstawienie rezultatu badania ankietowego, które zostało zrealizowane w 2014 roku. Zaprezentowane wyniki potwierdziły wysoką ocenę znaczenia środków unijnych w procesie inwestycyjnym realizowanym przez polskich przedsiębiorców.

The development of micro and small enterprises translates into economic success of the Member States, therefore projects realised by this economic sector receive such strong support and large subsidies. Without doubt the opportunity to obtain subsidies for business activity whose aim was to enhance competitiveness generated the increase of new business entities. According to data published at the end of September 2015, about 31,000 enterprises were subsidised by EU funds in order to execute their investment projects and about 250 business environment institutions were granted subsidies. The projects realised contributed to the social and economic development of regions, revitalisation of the economy and the enhancement of our international competitiveness. EU funds, on one hand, have become one of the major determinants of increasing the innovation of the Polish economy, on the other a priority form of external financing as a major component of the so-called micro-entrepreneurs. These are manifest in highly popular programs from which Polish companies have been able to realize direct investment in the reconstruction of technology parks along with improving the competence of their employees. The purpose of this article is to identify, compare and evaluate the use of some forms of enterprise development support from EU funds and present the results of the survey which was completed in 2014. The presented results confirm the high assessment of the importance of EU funds in the investment process implemented by Polish entrepreneurs.
