Doubtless is the fact that Poland, in comparison with other not only western countries, still remains delayed in terms of the development. This results mainly from the Polish structural problems whose origins can be found in the country’s history. The restructurization processes of industry and agriculture together with a slow privatization of these branches of economy, despite visible positive results, brought about threats of unemployment, a low investment ability, little competitiveness of enterprises or ineffectiveness of the institutional system. What is more, the above-mentioned dangers and those which have not been cited occur to different degrees in different regions. Therefore, a low socio-economic cohesion is itself an obstacle to the enlargement of the cohesion at the European level. Despite the progressing outer convergence, it can be stated that, with the exception of a few big cities and few areas attractive in terms of tourism and agriculture, all Polish voivodships are threatened by the peripheralization in the integrating Europe. Such processes are especially visible in the eastern areas of Poland. A typical way of thinking where the EU is supposed to eliminate the risk of marginalization of the Polish regions implies another danger. It consists in being dependent on the outer help, no matter what the ability to implement the received financial support is. Thus, the actions on different levels must be taken not only to decrease the above-mentioned dangers of marginalization but also to facilitate better conditions for a further development of the regions. Therefore, it must be remembered that every enlargement of the European structures has had a bigger or smaller influence on the inner cohesion of the EU. The countries which are socio-economically less developed have been accepted as members of the integration process. On 1 May 2004, ten new countries became members of the EU, including Poland. As this was the biggest enlargement in the history of the EU, it has influenced both the institution and the economy of this organization, but first and foremost, the inner coherence of the EU.

Poland is the largest beneficiary of the EU’s cohesion policy, scheduled for years 2007–2013. During this period, the European Union will grant projects under the Convergence objective and the European Territorial Cooperation objective to the tune of € 67.3 billion. Along with national co-financing the total value of projects using EU funds will amount to € 85.6 billion. The authors believe the midpoint of the EU’s ongoing financial plan is an appropriate time to assess the diversity of participation among Polish regions in the European Union’s cohesion policy. The aim of their research is to conduct statistical analysis of the diversification of EU fund use to achieve the objectives of European cohesion policy by the Polish NUTS 2 regions for the period from January 2007 to June 2010. The verification of hypotheses formulated, referring to the realisation of economic and social cohesion, is based on indicators proposed by European Commission. In turn, the authors propose indicators for determining the level of technical infrastructure development in order to study the realisation of territorial cohesion. They also discuss new and current applications of statistical methods.

The article describes the 16 Regional Operational Programmes in Poland 2007–2013. In the elaboration the following issues are considered: the evolution of the regional policy in the European Union, the factors of regional development as a social capital or material capital, the strategy and objectives of regional policy in Poland, the development priorities of the Polish regions. For the 2007–2013 period, 16 operational programmes have been adopted by the European Commission. The regional authorities are responsible for management and implementation of the programmes. The purpose of the article is to describe the process of preparation of the regional priorities according to the Community strategic guidelines on cohesion and the National Strategic Reference Framework. It is also determined by the renewed Lisbon Strategy. Polish Regional Operational Programmes co-financed through the cohesion policy, concentrate on the following objectives: encouraging innovation, entrepreneurship and the growth of the knowledge economy by research and innovation capacities, developing communication technologies, investing in transport and road infrastructure and preserving their environmental potential.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DIFFERENTIATION OF POLISH REGIONS

EN
The publication's objective is presentation of the interregional differentiation among the Polish voivodeships. On the basis of the statistical measures applied - mainly, coefficient of variation and the median - the author attempts to present the regional differentiation of the Polish voivodeships and to evaluate which voivodeships manage to improve their competitive position and which ones face its deterioration. However, the changes in the statistical indicators are not sizeable, which on one hand attests to the durability of the said differences, while at the same time calls for cautious formulation of decisive opinions about the effectiveness of regional development policy. Simultaneously, the author points out that the period 2000 - 2004 has resulted in significant deterioration of the Polish regions; competitiveness vis-á-vis many EU regions.
