Poland joined the European Union on May 1, 2004 and subsequently became eli- gible for support from the EU structural funds and Cohesion Fund. The primary objective of these funds is provision of assistance in reducing the development disparities between regions in order to strengthen the economic and social cohe- sion. The Integrated Regional Operational Programme (ZPORR) is one of seven Operational programmes to be used in implementing the 2004-2006 National Development Plan/ Community Support Framework. An allocation of 40839 mil- lion Euro in public expenditure is provided for the implementation of the ZPORR in the years 2004 -2006, out of which 2,9685 million Euro will be from the resources of the structural funds: European Regional Development Found and European Social Found. The programme is managed at the national level, but implemented at the level of the region. ZPORR is the most important programme document from the perspective of regional development policy implemented by the Regional Authority. 'The sum of 185 million Euro will be earmarked for the implementation of the ZPORR in Małopolska in the years 2004-2006, and the majority of this sum will be spent on projects relating to the construction and extension of the region's infrastructure (projects related to transport, environmental protection, culture and tourism, infrastructure of the information society). The number of projects in Małopolska so far alows us to think that the region will make the most of the funds earmarked for it. At the moment the main goal is to prepare the region to the next period 2007-2013, as from 2007 onwards, responsibility for preparing and implementing regional development programmes will be fully delegated to the voivodship self- government level.
