SUMMARY
The absorbtion of the structural funds is an objectiv of the
post-accession strategy for Romania,
taking into consideration the important contribution of those
funds in covering the gaps to the othersmember states of the
European Union. The accessing of these financial resources through
the
European cohesion policy represents one of the main economic
benefits of integration process.
The next principles should be taken into consideration in
accession of the structural funds:
- efficiency - the use of the structural funds in function of
the strategical directions of development
established by the Romanian government for the period
2007-2013;
- subsidiarity administration of the structural funds at a level
close to the local and regional needs in
function of the area specific and local priorities. The state
should intervine just where the optimal
management of the funds overtakes the capacity of the public
local administration. Moreover, it is
very important to get compementary financial resources through
the public-private partnership in the
prioritary fields for develoment;
- partenership the management and implementation of the
structural funds should be achieved
through the involvement of all society actors: national,
regional and local public authorites, economic
and social parhers, civil society etc.
In order to become a net benefiary of the structural funds,
Romania has to ensure a high level of
absorbtion for these financing resources. It should be taken
into consideration that the funds which
Romania gets from the European Union are potentialy while the
contribution to the communitary
budget is real and represents an obligation assumed by every
member state.
The premises for optimal using of the structural funds are the
followings:
- real informing of all categories of potential beneficiars of
the projects financed from the European
funds;
- ensuring of the administrative capacity of all institutions
involved in using the structural funds, in
order to develop a high standard, eficiently and transparent
activity;
- supporting the projects promotors in order to establish a
portfolio of mature projects, which can befinanced after the
aproval of the operational programs.
