The Cohesion Fund supports measures of the National Development Plan through 'the creation of suitable conditions for the increase in the level of investments, the promotion of sustainable development and territorial cohesion'. The main priorities in the years 2004-2006 and 2007-2013 shall be: the improvement of the quality of surface waters, flood safety, rational waste management and the improvement of air quality.

Efforts to increase the dynamism and competitiveness of the European agricultural sector, and effective implementation of the strategy "Europe 2020" and its vision to stimulate sustainable development, based on knowledge and innovation, are inseparably linked to the objectives set out in the strategy of the "Innovation Union ". In the fulfillment of these tasks the key role is played by science and the transfer of knowledge which, in rural areas, largely depends on agricultural advisory services. The priorities defined in the strategy "CAP towards 2020" clearly indicate the strategically important role assigned to the farm advisory system (FAS) whose sphere of operation is inseparably connected with the transfer of knowledge and innovations. In Poland, the organizational state of agricultural advisory services as well as the legal and financial conditions of activities in the sphere of research and innovations, whose effects should contribute to economic development, fail to meet the existing expectations. The presented conclusions suggest the directions for necessary systemic changes that will permit to improve the process of introduction of innovative solutions in the agri-food sector and in the services rendered in rural areas. .

The Polish presidency of the European Union has aroused a lot of ambitions and expectations from society, which sees opportunities to create and promote a positive image of Poland as a modern, dynamic country, engaged in the affairs of European integration and actively participating in solving current problems of the European community. Some are even convinced that the presidency will strengthen the position of Poland in the EU and worldwide. Looking from the perspective of the French Presidency experience, which has achieved many successes in this field, the author attempts to assess the opportunities and threats for the Polish presidency, bringing critical analysis of external factors, the priorities selected and the process of its preparation. Also presented are proposals for supporting the priorities of the Polish presidency, as well as some urgent problems to solve resulting from the challenges facing the European Union and Poland, today; including, in particular, the common agricultural policy, cohesion policy as well as territorial, economic and social competitiveness. The current Common Agricultural Policy has many imperfections and is a long way from the purposes it was originally intended.. The current direct payments to farmers in member countries are too varied and discriminate against farmers in the newly joined EU member states, especially in Poland, distorting the adopted principles of competitiveness. Consequently, it is an insufficiently implemented European cohesion policy. Even with the the absorption of considerable financial outlays, the outcome is the deepening of social, economic and territorial inequalities in particular regions and EU member states. The EU budget program for 2014-2020 assumes a substantial increase in expenditure on building competitiveness at the expense of cohesion among the regions of convergence, which will not encourage sustainable economic and social development in the EU, and especially in Poland. Poland does not duly use the EU subsidies for R & D, which, in this area, is a net contributor to the European budget. The consolidation of these trends, especially under conditions of the continuous overseas outflow of highly skilled human capital, is a huge threat to building a modern, innovative economy in Poland, disqualifying us for a long time in the rankings of European and global innovation. These and other threats to the Polish and European economy, in the context of a deepening monetary and economic crisis, should constitute the major challenges for the Polish presidency. Meanwhile, the program adopted by the presidency in this regard is too shallow and un-ambitious. Anxieties exist because the Polish presidency does not meet society's expectations.
